Weekly Newsletter

Hey y'all!

Great news! Demel Fine Art will be a fully-functioning business, starting next week! Thankfully, there has been a lot of support around town by individuals and businesses alike.  For example, the Schulenburg Historical Museum is changing out their window displays to show case art work by local artists Caitlin E. Demel and Dale Schmidt. Also, The Schulenburg Chamber of Commerce sent out their weekly newsletter congratulating Demel Fine Art on their official membership.  As happy and positive as everyone has been, Demel Fine Art is even happier that it is possible to be here in such a wonderful and supportive town as Schulenburg, TX.

As posted last week, a great deal will be coming up within the next year for the blast-off of Demel Fine Art: classes, art exhibitions, newsletters - a whole bunch of events that tie back to helping maintain the surge of creativity that can be found within our community. As always, thank you so much for all of your support, plus your contagious spirit!

Sincerely,
Caitlin E. Demel

p.s. The schedule of art classes for the new year will be posted mid-November, and, we are cracking on that! Email us if you have any suggestions, or if you or a friend/child would like a few private lessons instead - we are accommodating!

Congratulations, Ally!

A congratulations goes out to our current student, Miss Ally of Schulenburg, for having her artwork chosen for display in the Spanish classroom of Schulenburg ISD!  Ally is a very talented artist, and, what is even more amazing, is that she is only 9 years old!  The students have all shown a wonderful knack for creating art, and their enthusiastic imaginations are always kicking in.  I look forward to our upcoming schedule of classes for youth next year! Stay posted!


Happy Halloween,

Adult Art Workshops

at the

Shop Downtown

–

September and October

If you are reading this, then it is probably safe to say that you love art, or know someone who does.  Take an art class this autumn so you can finally put this love to use.  The theme this fall is “drawing”.  Yes, we are revisiting the basics to creating art and then expanding off of those fundamentals.  All the old Masters would clearly recognize the importance of revisiting basic drawing – their expert drawing skills were what made them so great in the first place.  Hence, Demel Fine Art will be using the next two months to help our aspiring artists become exactly that: great!  The following classes that are available as workshops will help you not only draw better, but it will also help you improve in other areas of art, such as painting, sculpting and photography.  So join in!
