The VAC welcomes any resident of Sun
City to join and to explore their potential
as an artist, whether beginners or pro-
fessionals. Many of our instructors are
members who have enjoyed careers in art
before retiring to Sun City.
Classes in multiple mediums are held
throughout the year. Sign-up for June
classes begins in May, and the website
provides a look at the class schedules as
well as the teacher bios and supply needs
for each class. Sign-up is now available
online.
For original, affordable artwork in a vari-
ety of mediums, visit our exhibits at Cowan
Creek, the Activities Center, the Social
Center and the Visual Arts Studio.
With spring in full bloom, the General
meeting will feature a demonstration by
accomplished landscape artist Jimmy
Longacre, whose emphasis is on the artist’s
interpretation of the landscape. He will
teach a class in June focused on helping
early to intermediate painters observe na-
ture with a “painter’s eye” and creating
their own interpretation of the landscape
through an easy to understand process.
Come to the May meeting to see his work
and hear of this fascinating approach.
