Founded on April 13, 1950 by “a group of Kenosha Art Lovers united to aid
in further development of art and art appreciation in the community”, the
Kenosha Art Association needed an update, we have worked hard behind
the scenes, we are ready for the challenges and opportunities that the
road ahead will bring us.
We thank you for your continued support and invite you to write the next
chapter of the Kenosha Art Association; please let all of your friends know

Message from the
president:
Hello Kenosha Art
Association members.
I would like to invite you
to help out at our
upcoming Good Old
Summertime Art Show,
Sunday June 7th.
While we have a dedicated group of individuals that
help out year after year we still need your help. If you
would let us know when you could help for a couple of
hours on that day it would be greatly appreciated.
It’s not hard work and a great way to meet fellow artists
and help out the Art Association at the same time. We
especially need help in the morning to early afternoon
time slots. Of course any time, if even for only an hour
would be great.
We need your help in order for the Kenosha Art
Association to achieve it’s goal of hosting another great
art fair. Please consider helping this year.
Thank you.
Jill Montgomery,
President

It would be nice if the KAA had an exhibit booth with
members work. If you would like to organize this booth
please let me know. We thought if we had a few artist
that only have a few items to sell they could sit in the
booth for a few hours we could provide the tent and
display boards and table. Think about it, maybe Barb
Farrell's class would want to do that.
The annual May Election Lunch will be May 31st at 1pm
at Luigi’s restaurant at 7531-39 Ave. We will have pizza
and soda $5.00 a person, and you can bring your own
beer or wine. After this year Officers election, we
would like to have a planning session to brainstorm and
plan upcoming events, classes, etc.
