10 MAAA NEWS Painting Group Hello MAAA Artists, Due to the Keene Public Library's renovation plans for the Heberton Hall annex, the Painting Group that has meet at the library for a number of years on Thursdays from will not be meeting there until the renovations are completed. The other meeting rooms in the main library space, such as the Green Room and the Trustees Room do not have adequate lighting to use for a painting group. In the renovation plan, there will be meeting rooms with windows and good lighting for the community to use. Hopefully, when the renovation is complete, there will be renewed interest in using the library for a Painting Group weekly event. In the meantime, if anyone has a suggestion of an alternative meeting space, please reply with your comments or questions to: Liz Winchester-Larson lizart39@yahoo.com Every Thursday Heberton Hall All members are invited to attend the Painting Group, meeting every Thursday morning at 10:00 A.M. in Heberton Hall. Heberton Hall is located right next to the Keene Public Library and has wonderful lighting for painters. This is a joint program of the library and the Monadnock Area Artists Association. There is no charge, of course and no instruction. This is a social opportunity for artists to exchange information and perfect their art abilities. Almost all media are represented. We look forward to seeing you there. ************************
