General Information How to Use This Catalog For painting club members there is something happening throughout the year, but the bulk of the programs occur during the October through April time frame. We begin each Fall with a series of workshops called Come and Try It. These are intended to help new members who need help getting started, or members who wish to make a start in a brand new medium. These introductory workshops are followed by a full series of classes, seminars, and workshops in date order. Classes usually last several weeks. Workshops and seminars are shorter in duration. We take a brief break in December for the holidays, then we begin again in January with another Come and Try It workshop series, followed by classes, workshops, and seminars. Updates to this catalog will be posted at the club website QCFAPC.wordpress.com so be sure to check there first. Club activities are slower in the summer when many members are away, but we do offer a variety of activities and educational opportunities that will be announced via e-mail or the club newsletter as they are scheduled.
