SUMMARY:January 2024 Meeting:  Setting Up A Teaching Art Studio
DESCRIPTION:Many artists are venturing into setting up their own teaching studio\, in addition to creating art\, to augment their income.  Wendy Keeney-Kennicutt will be telling her story of starting Brazos Watercolor Retreats in 2019 with Monika Pate and Robyn Glass\, making it through covid and where BWR is today.  Included will be all the nitty-gritty about starting a small\, home-based business:  figuring out location\, name\, websites\, email\, finances\, insurance\, outfitting the place with lighting and furniture\, art supplies\, refreshments and advertising. She will also share a typical lesson.  So if you are interested in learning more\, please come! \nAbout the presenter\, Dr. Wendy Keeney-Kennicutt: \nBryan-College Station has been my home since I arrived from Watertown\, NY in 1975 to earn my Ph.D. in Oceanography.  It was here I graduated\, met and married my love (48 years+). I taught First Year Chemistry at Texas A&M University for 30 years & ran the Chemistry Open House for 13 years.  Teaching was my passion; I earned many awards including the prestigious Presidential Professor for Teaching Excellence. I still tutor students in first year chemistry. I started watercolor as a complete novice in 2013 just before retiring\, taking local classes with Hailey Herrera\, Chris Wilson\, Robyn Glass and Monica Pate. In 2019\, Monica\, Robyn and I started “Brazos Watercolor Retreats” in my art studio\, but they moved on to other endeavors and now I continue to have monthly classes and give private lessons. I have been on the board of the Visual Art Society of Bryan-College Station for several years: 2016–2023 as treasurer\, and president/technology chair for 2023-2024. I also manage our Aggieland Art Trail project. My  watercolors have won many local awards\, including VAS Best in Show in 2021. \nVisit Our Artists Webpage to see more of her work!  Note: All VAS members can get their own page – just fill out the FORM! \nDoors open at DEGALLERY at 5:30pm for our January meeting.  There will be light refreshments.  Come by\, chat and catch up!
