PRS NEWS -- February 1, 2023
From the Newsletter Editor
We mentioned last month that PRS members can announce calls-for-entry, shows, workshops, available materials, equipment, studio spaces, other opportunities or needs through PRS's Facebook presence at this link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/pacrimsculptors.
Another way to communicate is our Google Group email list, which allows you to send and receive messages with other PRS members: Go to groups.google.com/g/pacificrimsculptors and request to join. Thereafter, you can send emails to pacificrimsculptors@googlegroups.com and other members will receive them. It is a great way to connect with other sculptors about resources, needs, and opportunities; check it out!

We encourage PRS members to tour SFMOMA on the second Thursday of each month. If you want to meet other PRS members, we suggest you gather at 4:30 PM on the second floor at the large stairway leading up to the third floor. This is a recurring, informal event; you are welcome to start earlier, or later, and perhaps to check out other nearby exhibitions or dining opportunities. |
