HISTORY OF THE LAKESIDE PALETTE CLUB
The Lakeside Palette Club of St. Clair Shores was established February 3, 1947 by Mrs. Russell (Meta) Srigley and a group of ten artists. This group met at Blossom Health Inn on Lake Saint Clair.
Today this club has over one hundred members and now meets monthly at the Saint Clair Shores Public Library, 22500 E 11 Mile Rd (at Jefferson). Our objective remains the same after more than seventy five years. "To study and paint together and to stimulate and promote interest in creative art."
Annual Membership dues are $30 for a single person, and $40 for husband and wife. Student Membership - $20. The fiscal year runs from June 1 to May 31.
Your membership allows you to participate in up to 2 juried shows, six demos, two critiques, weekly group open painting sessions and allow the opportunity to display and sell your work at local businesses in the area.
Demonstrations and critiques take place at our monthly meetings which are held at the Saint Clair Shores public library on the first Monday of each month September through May. Meetings begin at 6:30 pm with a demo or critique following at 7:00 pm. The two
critiques are usually in November and May. A schooled artist is hired to provide feedback on how you might enhance the piece you bring in for review. This gives you time to make any changes prior to entering them in the Fall or Spring Show.
Demonstrations are done in acrylics, oils, pastels, sculpture and watercolor. Past demonstrators were: Robert Maniscalco, Amy Foster, Jerry Power, Bernadette Zachara-Marcos, Pete Snodgrass, Lewis King...to name a few. We also meet throughout the summer for plein air painting at different locations in the metro area.
Weekly Open Painting/Art Sessions are held from 11am - 3pm every Tuesday at North Lake High School on Elmira in SCS. Several times a year, we have models that sit and pose for us. We supply the coffee or tea, you bring your art supplies and a bag lunch if you'd like; stay for an hour or two and, if you are in the groove, stay for the entire four hours!
