Kathy Beuden Artist of the Month

Cossatot Arts and Crafts Assocation held its monthly meeting
on Friday, February 19, 2010. Kathy Beuden was selected as Artist of the Month
for her pencil floral "Pleasingly Purple". "Bluebird Lane", an acrylic work by
Jerri Rivers, placed second. President Terry Wester's pencil portrait
of Myrtle Sims, named "American Beauty", was third. Sherry Ward's
oil painting of an eagle, titled "Wild Thing", took fourth place.

Plans for the 39th Annual King Art Show were discussed.
This show and sale will be open to the public Saturday, May
1st and Sunday, May 2nd, and will be held at the historical King School,
located seven and one-half miles North of DeQueen.
Directions to the show and details of entry rules and prizes will
soon be published in the DeQueen Bee Newspaper's brochure.

This is the time of year when the Art Show Chairman, the
Secretary, President and all committees work closely
together toward one goal: a successful show. All regular
supporters who have received their sponsor solicitation
letters can help tremendously by returning them quickly
by mail. In this case "timing is everything".

C.A.C.A. meets at 11:00 a.m. on the third Friday of each
month at the REA building on Crosstrails Road. Anyone
interested in learning about the Association is welcome to
attend, meet the artists and view the paintings submitted.
No prior art experience is required. The club welcomes
"empty-nesters", teachers, students, former students,
photographers, or anyone wishing to begin or renew an
art interest. If there are questions regarding C.A.C.A., please
call 870-642-2419 or 870-584-4985.
