The Carolina Artists guild will be offering a fun, creative and interactive mini-workshop at its meeting on Thursday, Nov. 21, at St. John’s Lutheran Church (Faith Center, 100 N. Jackson St. entrance) in Salisbury. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. for meeting and refreshments. The program starts at 7 p.m. Guests are welcome.

Members will be joining together at the November mini-workshop to explore the fascinating and creative world of holiday and winter designs. The guild will use these designs to create both whimsical and serious custom cards and envelopes. The cards will be distributed in the community prior to Christmas to brighten the lives of others.

Attendees are requested to bring colored markers, pens, colored pencils and any other supplies you would like to use to create unique cards. Some supplies will be available, so everyone will be welcome to participate.

This has been a busy year for guild and members plan to end the year by supporting and participating in Winterfest on Dec. 6-8 in Spencer. Members will be exhibiting their art, just in time for holiday shopping. Members will also be working with young artists by providing a complimentary “Paint A Snowman “ project that kids can take home. Face painting will be provided.

The Carolina Artists guild supports its member artists throughout the year as artists offer classes, have individual exhibits or other art-related events. This year, several artists are involved in individual events during the holidays.

Cherrathee Hager is creating lots of of public art in the community with a Christmas and winter theme as she paints business and residential windows in preparation for her 10th annual Cruise By Christmas Window Art Show starting in mid-December. Locations will be announced.

Joyce Darling and Donna Van Valkenburg are offering pottery and holiday art classes at the Joyce Darling Gallery in Landis.

Artist Rhonjlyn Hampton Cardwell is sharing toys, gifts, food and clothing free to those who are in need through her fifth annual Santa’s Workshop. Cardwell is also offering free art classes for children. She is accepting donations of gently used or new toys. Art supplies and other items suitable for all ages.

Artists, photographers and art lovers are encouraged to attend monthly meetings to come visit with the guild’s family of artists. Guests are always welcome.
