Coming up in November we have two meetings. Instead of our usual fun shop or luncheon we are having a Fun Shop/Potluck on Wednesday the 19th at Hot Shops Art Center. Bring your art supplies to work on cards and a dish or dessert to share. OAI After Hours is getting together at 6pm on Tuesday, Nov. 18th to tour the Artists Cooperative Gallery, make cards at Hot Shops Art Center, and have a Potluck. Community Outreach: Every year at the November Potluck Sara Sumnick Wamsat gathers donations of art supplies and makes packets for the Lied Transplant Center’s Life Care Center Art Cart for patients awaiting transplants. Please bring any donations to the November Fun Shop/Potluck. If you are unable to attend or shop for supplies a monetary donation helps to fill in areas we need or are short on. A detailed list of items is on page 2 of the newsletter under Community Outreach or in the roster.

Omaha Artists donates art supplies and teachers monthly at Augustana Lutheran Church’s ESL site for refugees….primarily from Burma. We instruct in basic skills using crayons, markers, watercolors, acrylics, scissors, glue and lots of imagination. 

Each student takes home a piece of art after each lesson. We say “good job” (a little USA lingo) and we mean it !!! 

We meet the 2nd Wednesday of each month, September thru May.

Wednesday Feb. 11th ….Watercolor Faces ... with Lourdes O’Leary.
