Welcome to 2017, our 94th year. For so many years there were things that we just couldn’t do. Now we have ended our first year at the GFAA Gallery and we feel there is probably nothing we can't do! Every Month the Board and I meet to plan, discuss and initiate our next workshop, general meeting, themed exhibit, outside venue show, etc. We are always planning ahead. Here is a peek at the coming months so you can plan ahead, as well: GFAA GALLERY Whimsy: Intake: Jan 22, Show: Jan 24–Feb 18, Artwalk: January 27 Mid-Century Modern: Intake: Feb 19, Show: Feb 21–March 25, Artwalk: Feb 24 Living Creatures: May Trashformations: June Human Image: July By the way, if you have any questions about the Theme, email alfredphillipsart@gmail.com This year, we have added some exciting collaborations, as well as other outside Guest Exhibits. Please put these on your calendar: EXTRA GALLERY EXHIBITS Friends of Elementary Arts Silent Auction: Feb 3 Cuban Art Show: Feb 14–Feb 18 UF Senior Ceramics: April 7–April 14 Colored Pencil Society of America: April 21–May 18 Here’s another suggestion or two...if your art is in an exhibit, come to the Opening Reception and bring your friends. If you do not have art in an exhibit, come to the Opening Reception and bring your friends. If we all support each other, great things will happen. Don’t forget we will be giving cash awards for all winners. PLAN AHEAD FOR 2017 and you wont miss a thing.

I’ve noticed that tennis outfits are becoming more expressive lately. The Aryna Sabalenka 2026 French Open Sheer Dress definitely follows that direction, combining athletic structure with a more fashion-forward silhouette.
Wow, congratulations on celebrating your 94th year! It is incredibly inspiring to see how much the GFAA Gallery has grown, and the upcoming themed exhibits like "Mid-Century Modern" and "Trashformations" sound like fantastic opportunities for local creativity.
I completely agree with Karen’s advice about planning ahead for the year. To align my own creative projects and timing this season, I recently booked an online astrology consultation on Astroma, which has been incredibly helpful for mapping out my personal goals.
I’ll definitely be putting these Artwalk dates on my calendar to support the community!
This inspiring update highlights creativity, collaboration, and community growth. The diverse exhibitions and events show strong artistic dedication and opportunity for all members. Just like art brings ideas to life, custom embroidered patches add a unique, creative touch to branding and personal expression. Wishing continued success, exciting exhibits, and even greater achievements in the years ahead.
