The Woodlands Mall Presents "Spotlight on the Arts"
Date Thursday, January 26, 2012
Time 5:00pm until 6:30pm
Where The Woodlands Mall behind the Food Court in "Spotlight on the Arts" gallery
BAM! is holding a special exhibition of the collaborative mural projects lead by artist Vickie McMillan which benefited local organizations like the Montgomery County Women’s Center, Montgomery County Youth Services and Children’s Safe Harbor, Woodlands Fire Department and the 2011 Montgomery fires.
BAM! will also use this opportunity to recognize The Woodlands Mall for their generosity in making a venue for displaying the mural projects possible. We will also recognize others such as the Conroe Art League for their contributions.
Light refreshments will be served. Come out and helps us celebrate the magnificent work that can be accomplished when a shared vision to positively impact lives through art is implemented.
CAL and Parks and Recreation Join Forces
CAL has proposed in its grant request to the city of Conroe that the league expand its outreach to other groups in the area. The group we have targeted is the young people involved in the Conroe Parks and Recreation Dept.'s art activities. These week-long art adventures occur several times a year. We have invited the groups to display their art work from the Multi-Arts Camp and Abby’s Place at the gallery for one week-end at the close of each camp, with a small reception for the parents during the exhibition. The groups will also be invited to tour the gallery during their camps.
In addition to the shows, we have committed to volunteering at Kidz Fest March 31. This is fun. Please join us by working a two-hour shift in support of the wonderful art programs run by the Parks and Recreation Dept.
Jamie Blair, director of the above mentioned activities, is also hoping some of our members will be interested in being a guest artist at some of the Abby’s Place art classes. Please let Kathleen Rowland know if you are interested in spending a few hours over a period of time working with 9-12 year old children who are really interested in art.
NOTE: Some dates may change.
Dates for receptions: Abby’s Place - 3/20 or 3/21 to be determined

RETT Project
UPDATE: The piece had over 1000 signatures on the back once it was complete. Clint Black, Kevin Black, Kevin Brady, Rett families, friends, supporters and many others left their own special mark on the mural. It brought $7500 at auction to benefit ongoing research to find a cure for Rett.
     These are pictures of the project at Children's Safe Harbor. The same techniques of adding texture using caulk and other materials will be used on the RETT project.
