After 50 years of existence, Hotchkiss Fine Arts Association finds attendance dwindling at its monthly meetings — dwindling to the point the officers are faced with the decision to possibly disolve a creative resource for artists in the North Fork Valley.

In an effort to generate new members, new interest and save the Hotchkiss Fine Arts Association, a Christmas meeting will be held at the Memorial Hall canteen on Thursday, Dec. 17, at 6:30 p.m.

Members will be exchanging cookies and enjoying a demonstration by Suki Elisha Strong, a pastel artist from Cedaredge.

Artists of all ages and experience are encouraged to come, socialize and join in the creative atmosphere the Hotchkiss Fine Arts Association has to offer. Monthly meetings provide an opportunity to observe and learn from the artists. Programs for youth are outstanding. Membership in the HFAA is only $16 per year — a minimal investment with a great return!

The HFAA works in collaboration with the Creamery Arts Center in Hotchkiss to provide members of HFAA with a space of their own, where featured artists may display their works for a month at a time. Every summer, an exhibition is held in Memorial Hall in Hotchkiss.

Learn more about this great organization by attending the Dec. 17 meeting at Memorial Hall.
