President's Message - Winter 2022
As we embark on a new year, I would like to first express my gratitude to all of you who have helped to make this past year a success for the FMBAA. This includes our dedicated members and our faithful customers who are steadfast in their support of our organization.
The FMBAA is a non-profit organization that relies solely on it’s members who willingly volunteer their time and talents throughout the year to keep things going. I would like to thank each and every one of you for your dedication and hard work. Your commitment is greatly appreciated.
If you are thinking about becoming a member of the FMBAA, you will be joining a family of fellow artists from all walks of life who share the same passion and energy and love of art. Being a member of our association has many wonderful benefits and I would love to explain them all to you.
We, like many other organizations, share the same challenges that the pandemic presents. We remain strong and optimistic. Starting out the new 2022 season, the FMBAA continues to offer classes, workshops, and several events that are open to the public. In order to remain vigilant regarding the safety of our members and guests, we will continue to follow “CDC Guidelines” for mask wearing in our gallery during these events.
If you have not met us yet, please stop in to our gallery and meet our incredibly talented artists. We are a working gallery so you may catch some of our artists working, however, please feel free to come in! We welcome questions and are always happy to take the time to chat with you.
TOGETHER….this will be our focus in this new year. Together we can accomplish more. So, let’s continue to learn together, support each other’s unique artful style, celebrate personal achievements together, help each other to remain upbeat and positive, and remind each other to keep an attitude of gratitude.
I wish you all a happy and healthy 2022 with lots of laughter and joy.
Sincerely,
Star Sherwood
President
Fort Myers Beach Art Association
