If your wife wants to attend any of the classes, be sure to contact the teacher first. The classes are pretty full this time of year. I don't want her to show up with her palette and be disappointed if she can't get in the class.

If you stop by the Hacienda Rec Center, the Belvedere Library & the Sheriff's Annex you can see the latest displays of art from Villages artists. The classes also display the works of their students at Colony Cottage & Seabreeze Rec Centers. I'm sure there are more displays, so maybe someone else can add to the list?

The art opportunities here in The Villages are amazing. We have internationally acclaimed artists who come here to teach workshops. John Salminen will be here this month, and we'll also have Kathie George, Roger Bansemer, Janet Rogers, & Joe Fettingis. Mark Polomchak is also here right now. I attended Diana Gessler's Watercolor Travel Journaling workshop last month & had a wonderful time. These artists come to US, so if you want to take one of their workshops there's no travel/hotel/meal expense -- and you can get to the workshops on a golf cart!

Most of the workshops are through the LIfelong Learning College: http://www.thevillageslifelongcolleg...ne_version.pdf
The art opportunities start on page 13.

I know this isn't the information you wanted, because I don't think they encourage visitors during the workshops, but I did want to share some of the many art opportunities we have here.

But most of all, enjoy your Lifestyle Visit!
