Free Framing & Matting Workshops at Gallery 308 in January

Will you put off framing that nice giclee print you got for Christmas? What about the precious wedding photo that still hasn't been framed? What's your excuse?

If cost is holding you back (i.e. the cost of framing and matting), Gallery 308 has a wonderful offer for you! FREE, hands-on matting & framing workshops will be held at the Gallery throughout January, weekday afternoons from 4:00 to 5:30, and Saturday mornings from 10:30 to noon.

In exchange for learning how to do your own framing (it's easier than you may think!), you will be helping the gallery to frame the student art for the February juried student art exhibit for grades K through 12.

Your attendance at the Gallery 308 framing workshops can also earn points for a Delaware County school as the schools compete for the 2010 Art Education Award. The school with the most points will use the $500 award to purchase art materials. The winner will be announced in February.

Help to promote art education in our schools and learn a useful money-saving skill at the same time! To register for a Gallery 308 framing workshop, call Karen Fisher at the Art Mart, 284-2919.

The workshops will take place at Gallery 308, in the Founders Gallery. Gallery 308 is located at 308 East Main Street in downtown Muncie.
