Art-a-thon 2024 - October 26-27
The Art-A-Thon was a great success! We raised $1400...not bad for 2 and 1/4 of us. Next time, we hope more will join and we can raise even more money for MAA!
Thanks to all who volunteered and sponsored us at the Art-a-thon! We really appreciate it!
And you can purchase one of the three items made during the art-a-thon!

2025 Art Break Challenge
Introducing the 2025 Art Break Challenge! Do you know that making art has magical abilities to improve your mood, your health, and your attitude? We want to help give you incentives to make art!
Here's how it works:
On the first of each month, I'll post a challenge for that month. You'll have the month to complete your challenge. You'll have until the fifth of the next month to post your creation on a Facebook page (2025 Art Break Challenge). If you complete 11 or 12 of the challenges, you'll get a 2025 Art Break Challenge mug!
So, why should you join us?
In today's crazy world it's easy to forget to take a moment for yourself. Engaging in this challenge gives you an excuse to make something! The prompts are wide open. For example, the January prompt is to "create a winter scene using any medium." You decide how simple or complex your project is.
You can use this as an excuse to hang out with your kids, or friends or cats and dogs and make art!
This isn't costly...most of you will already have plenty of artsy stuff.
The other thing is you don't have to be anywhere near Monroe, Oregon! Let's see how far we can get this challenge going!
Join the Facebook group (2025 Art Break Challenge) and get ready to challenge yourself to make art! There will also be a page on this website!
