Creativity doesn’t have an on/off switch. Sometimes, right in the middle of a project, we must shift gears to find that elusive bit of inspiration that keeps us going. Stuck on an acrylic painting? Try playing with watercolor! Does your sketchbook have you stumped? Hop into pastels for a few. You can always go back, and you might just discover a new medium in the process!

We know you do too, so come and check out what’s NEW in the world of art supplies!

NEW TOYS for ARTISTS!
The Southern Oregon Society of Artists March 27 Meeting will be at the Medford Public Library at 6:30 pm. We are excited to have Central Art owner Anne Ebert and employees Laura Strazdas and Adam Bunch for our March program again this year. The fact that they have been in business here in Medford for the past thirty-six years is a testament to their importance to local artists. There will be a demo on the use of colored pencil which has recently come into favor. New products will be shown and there will be time to chat with them regarding all the various products. The world is quickly changing, and the new products for artists are changing, too. New Toys for Artists!! Come find out about it.
For more information call BJ at 541 414-4993 or Judy Grillo at 661-609-5837
