The CFWS 2020-21 season presented a number of challenges. How to remain relevant to our members, how to fulfill our mission, how to plan for the future.?  ZOOM made our meetings possible by providing the means for members to gather while remaining safe, ZOOM made it possible for demos to continue.. These online demos proved to be more informative and beneficial than the in-person demos had been in the past. We were also able to adjust and hosted our Juried Show in March and we offered educational workshops using the remote format. Thankfully we are turning the corner on the pandemic and a return to normal. What we don’t know is when that will be and what “normal’ will now look like.Your board has decided on a  plan for the upcoming 2021-22 season. It was decided that we will continue with the format of using ZOOM in September, October and November with online demos by accomplished artists. Vice President Richelle Siska welcomes suggestions of demo artists from the members, email her  with suggestions.Thank you Governor DeSantis for your efforts in continuing the Covid crisis in FL.  With that, we will again be unclear on how we can proceed with in person gatherings during the season. Our fall meetings WILL be online.  See the event calendar for details..Our Annual Juried Show will be scheduled for March 2021  dates (undetermined) and our show committee is currently working out the details. But, we will be accepting paintings through most of December so break out the brushes. You will be notified of the cut-off date and submission will be online.Plein Air sessions are being scheduled monthly. These are a great opportunity to meet outdoors and share time with fellow members  Events will be posted on the events calendar as tey are confirmed.Check back often to see what will be happening during the 2021-22 season.
