Program:  We are thrilled to have Mary Jo Ernst join us and tell us all about the West Michigan chapter of Urban Sketchers.  They are very active and productive.  See their Instagram account for more of their art and location announcements.  https://www.instagram.com/uskwestmichigan/ Call for artists from Muskegon Art Museum for this fall’s contemporary Art exhibition.  Open April 4^th - July 21, 2023.  https://muskegonartmuseum.org/exhibitions/michigan-contemporary-art-exhibition/michigan-contemporary-art-exhibition-entry-rules-terms/ Mural:  The Grand Rapids Press had the article explaining the Plaster Creek Mural Project, a community-led project to paint a mural on a large wall along the Plaster Creek Trail.  The design will be sketched on for the painters.  https://www.facebook.com/groups/387907199594298 New Poster:  Since the poster at the Wyoming library is getting old and falling apart, we would like suggestions for the design of a new poster.  We are challenging the RAG members to put on your thinking caps and design a new poster.  We will consider all submissions at our next meeting, April 20.  There will be a $25 gift certificate for the winning design.  New dimensions are 22"X28".  It can be hung either vertically or horizontally.  There needs to be space to announce the current exhibit. See you April 20^th! 2pm – 4 pm at Calvary Christian Reformed Church 3500 Byron Center Ave, Wyoming, MI.
