HISTORY OF THE LAKESIDE PALETTE CLUB
The Lakeside Palette Club of St. Clair Shores was established February 3, 1947 by Mrs. Russell 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 in the Gilstorf Room at the St. Clair Shores Public Library located at 22500 11 Mile Road. Our objective remains the same after more than sixty years. "To study and paint together and to stimulate and promote interest in creative art."
Annual Membership dues are Twenty Five Dollars for a single person, and $30 for husband and wife. Student Membership - $15. The fiscal year runs from June 1 to May 31.
Your dues entitles you to: six demos, two critiques, weekly group open painting sessions, and
the opportunity to display and sell your work at eight local business' in the metro area.
Demonstrations and critiques take place at our monthly meetings which are now held at the SCS Public Library, 22500 11 Mile Road 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 in November and March. 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 every Tuesday from 9:00am - 3:00pm in Room 111 at the SCS Adult and Community Education Building located at 23055 Masonic (just east of Harper). Twice a year we have models that sit and model. 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 or if you are in the groove stay for the entire six hours.
