Fresh Art! will continue to be held on the 4th Thursday of the month from 7-9 pm, with a few exceptions due to holidays or library closing.
Fresh Art! is a monthly meeting presented by WARM for members (non-members are also welcome). Each meeting presents an art topic, followed by attendees sharing new work they have created. Some meetings are devoted to a hands-on art activity. In 2008, we have some exciting topics on the list! Mimi Holmes will complete her slide lectures on art by women.

This is an exhibit of paintings by former New Orleanian writer and artist Shelley Holl. Holl was a travel columnist for the Times-Picayune Newspaper for five years and published Louisiana Dayride: 52 Short Trips from New Orleans. She responds to Hurricane Katrina in collages of fabric and oil that draw inspiration from media images, and combines paintings she made while living in New Orleans with new imagery. Proceeds from the sale of paintings and her accompanying book will benefit continuing relief efforts in New Orleans. The closing reception will be held on the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.
NOTE: There will not be a WARM Coffee gathering during the month of August.
