Come to Green Rice on Thursday nights and learn the techniques of oil painting with local professional artist Paul Hastings. Paul (or as we call him, the Magic Man) will offer guidance and gentle criticisms as you paint your selected subject in a gallery setting. Your subject matter can be a picture you have always wanted to paint, a page from a magazine you find beautiful, or simply the still life we set up here in the gallery. Prior painting experience is not necessary. Each class is $30/session and will take place on Thursday evenings from 6-8pm. Classes will be held at the Green Rice Gallery right in the heart of the NoDa Arts District and they will begin on February 12th.
Take a look at our website at www.green-rice.com or call the gallery at 704.344.0300 to find out what you'll need to bring to class.
Let’s make magic!

Fort Mill Art Guild Meeting

The next meeting of the Guild will be Tuesday, January 13, 2009, 7 pm at The Spratt Building, 215 Main Street in downtown Fort Mill. We will start with a short update of Guild activities, followed by our keynote speaker, Carla Garrison, owner of Green-Rice Gallery in the NoDa section of Charlotte.
