The Freehold Elks Lodge, 73 E Main Street

Free, Open to the Public, RSVP FreeholdArtSociety60@gmail.com

Artist, member Beth Stamp will guide us through a Zen inspired workshop on tangling. Participants are encouraged to bring any unfinished art or paintings (watercolor or pencil) you would enjoy tangling on. Tangling works best on flat paper rather than acrylic or oil paintings. You might also enjoy tangling on a page from a magazine. If you have, please bring a Micron Pen or Sharpie Fine Marker.  Supplies will also be available. See attached Flyer for more information.

Also, we will be bringing back our “TRASH AND TREASURE” exchange of artist’s supplies/books.  If you have something that is still useful but you no longer want or need, please bring it to the meeting to trade or to give to another member.

Feel free to support The Elks’ Toys for Tots Drive by bringing a new unwrapped toy or dropping off anytime until 12/15.

Our friends at the Freehold Elks Lodge are hosting a toy drive. Donations accepted until 12/15. Drop off during business hours or leave on the porch at 73 E Main St.
