Due to the potential for bad weather, the April Meet the Artists Event is cancelled.

Art on the Kinni still has space for more artists. The deadline is May 1.

If you want to sell some of your art, consider renting a space at Art on the Kinni. If this is your first time, you might feel better sharing a booth with an artist friend. There aren’t many art fairs with a less expensive booth fee. If you do share a booth, both artists must send in pictures of the items they plan to sell for approval because it is a juried art fair.

To apply for a spot, visit the AOK application page.

Explore the wonders of watercolor painting and learn the fundamental techniques of this exciting medium. This is a beginning-to-intermediate class intended to introduce students to the medium while also presenting advanced techniques.

CAB is now accepting applications for Art on the Kinni 2023. Visit the Art on the Kinni page to apply.

CAB will be purchasing a park bench to be located along the Heritage Park White Kinnickinnic Pathway in honor of Dick and Sue Beckham. The bench will have a plaque with their names and involvement in CAB and Art on the Kinni. Thank you to CAB members for their generous donations to remember the Beckhams.

It is with a heavy heart that we report the passing of Dick Beckham last week at the age of 85. Dick was a past president of CAB, coordinated Barn Dances, and helped with Art on the Kinni where, among other things, he and his wife, Sue, kept artists fully caffeinated by delivering coffee to their booths.

Art’s House’s Saturday hours will change in December to 11am–3pm. Thursday and Friday hours will remain 2–6pm.

CAB will host three decoration-making sessions at Art’s House, Riverwalk Square 127 N. Main Street, River Falls, this winter. The sessions are designed for children approximately ages 8 to 10 years old. Space will be limited to 8 children per session so sign up now!
