I’m reaching out as the Publisher of Monadnock Living to see if there is a way to reach members to let them know about our fall/winter “Giving” is-sue. We will have pages dedicated to The Gift of Art. We have always offered artists half price ads in our publication, and we also design their ads at no cost. I’d be happy to send along our rate sheet if this would be of interest. We publish twice a year, and our 1/2 page artist’s rate is $250. We have a very strong art & culture following and an 8 month shelf life.

Painting Group
Hello MAAA Artists,
Due to the Keene Public Library's renovation plans for the Heberton Hall annex, the
Painting Group that has meet at the library for a number of years on Thursdays from
10 – 12 will not be meeting there until the renovations are completed. The other meet-
ing rooms in the main library space, such as the Green Room and the Trustees Room
do not have adequate lighting to use for a painting group. In the renovation plan,
there will be meeting rooms with windows and good lighting for the community to use.
Hopefully, when the renovation is complete, there will be renewed interest in using the
library for a Painting Group weekly event.
In the meantime, if anyone has a suggestion of an alternative meeting space, please
reply with your comments or questions to:
Liz Winchester-Larson
603-352-17742017
Every Thursday 10-12 Heberton Hall
All members are invited to attend the Painting Group, meeting every Thursday morning at 10:00
A.M. in Heberton Hall. Heberton Hall is located right next to the Keene Public Library and has won-
derful lighting for painters. This is a joint program of the library and the Monadnock Area Artists As-
sociation. There is no charge, of course and no instruction. This is a social opportunity for artists to
exchange information and perfect their art abilities. Almost all media are represented. We look for-
ward to seeing you there.
