Arts and Crafts is made up of a few different areas. There is
cooking on Mondays and Tuesdays, fine arts on
Wednesdays, arts and crafts on Thursdays, and beads on Fridays.
These areas change from time to time, but this
is the main schedule.

majority of the year. If you would like to volunteer your time
with our Arts Programs, please print out a Volunteer Application
and Criminal Background Check form, fill them out, and drop them
off at our main office.
*The Theater Program is looking for STAGE CREW who need to be
dedicated to the job!
The club's fine arts program operates everyday from 4:00 - 6:00pm.
Club members explore all level of fine arts, from multi-cultural
culinary arts to puppetry. Members work together in small and
large groups and receive individual attention from staff and
special guest instructors. Members also participate in numerous
Fine Arts field trips to plays, concerts and museums.
The members work within the community as well, performing at
various venues and sharing their love of art with residents of
Greystone Assisted Living facility. As always, for specific
projects and topics please see the Fine Arts schedules on the
program bulletin board right next to the main office.
Multi-Cultural Culinary Arts & Dining Etiquette
These classes fill up quickly, so be sure to get a signed
permission from Mrs. Halloran to secure a spot in the kitchen.
In culinary arts, members learn about the nutritional and
cultural value of various foods, measure ingredients, prepare
dishes, learn how to properly set a table and then (of course)
they get to eat their creations.
Fine Arts & Crafts
All modes of arts & crafts are explored on Wednesdays, Thursdays
and Fridays. Members receive instruction and create original
artwork in disciplines such as watercolor, pastel, monochromatic
drawing. They are also the ones who create the crafts that
decorate the club for holidays throughout the year.
Selected fine art creations will be submittied to B&GCA National
Exhibit Contest. Works of art in 12 Different categories are
eligible for submission. Please see Rose Halloran for details.
The Fine Arts Exhibit Program is sponsored nationally by L'OREAL.
ImageMakers Nationsl Photography Program
Funded by the Circuit City Foundation, the ImageMakers National
Photography program provides resources and opportunities for all
Club members interested in exploring the art of photography.
ImageMakers provides local, regional and national recognition
through an annual photography contest. Winning photos will be
displayed nationwide at museums as well as at B&GCA's annual
National Conference.
The goal of this program is not just to learn how to take
pictures but to explore photography as an art form by creating
their own visual art. Every week members in the program take
pictures based on a biweekly theme. Some of these themes are:
Who are you? This theme gives members the opportunity to let them
take pictures of their hobbies, family, friends, pets, and other
interests and tell their story through photography.
Community. Members will take pictures of their community outside
their family. This encourages members to recognize there are
people outside our family that serve our needs, and all represent
the United States of America.
The Arts. Members of this program will practice color contrast,
still life, action photography, shadows and light and explore
photography as a style of art by learning patience, observation
and arrangement.
