January. The Art Committee will discuss possibly adding or changing speakers for more variety.

Our FC Art Committee has grown to 9 members. We are sor ry to lose our board liaison Jill Kremer who has been such a strong advocate for the Art Program at FC. We look forward to working with her replacement. The Art Exhibitions at the Beach Club that ran from January - April 2023 were a huge success. Artists continued to display some of their art over the summer months. The Holiday Art Exhibition (December 8, 2023 —January 15, 2024 featured 14 of our talented FC artists and was enjoyed by all. It will be followed by a “ Winter ” Art Exhibition, a “ Spring ” Art Exhibi tion and then a “ Summer ” one, providing we have enough new art to display. In September the Art Lecture Series was relocated to the for mer Tennis Shop. Members and guests were treated to bever ages and appetizers at 5pm. It proved to be a more intimate atmosphere where everyone could hear Terryl Lawrence speak clearly and was given great reviews. The attendance went from 10 in September to 40 in November to 25 in

Art classes are going well at the Church, providing much of the new art for the exhibitions at the Beach Club. Members are very happy with the instructor. We have had interest in the beginner classes but no sign ups yet. Marketing has been exceptional with advertising flyers for Tuesday ’ s classes, Thursday ’ s Beginner Classes, the Art Lectures and Art Exhibitions in the FC daily communications, monthly flyer and Season Handbook. As the construction phase continues for the New Clubhouse, our committee looks forward to discussing the needs of the Art Stu dio to include, but not limited to, proper ventilation, disposal of hazardous products, storage, etc. The Art Committee ’ s primary goal is to always meet the needs of the Art Community here at FC.
