SAN ANTONIO RIVER WALK AND COLORS ON CLAY OUTING (SUNDAY 9/20/09) - RSVP & DEPOSIT DUE BY 9/5/09!  $50 per person deposit due by September 5 - Limited Space. Sign up today for AFFA's first event of the 2009 program year!
Make check payable to AFFA & mail to: Lee Schultz, 9403 Spring Hollow Dr., Austin, TX 78750 Schedule: 9:45 - 11:45 - Guided river cruise of the art works in the Museum Reach, including a view of the Maverick Tile Mural to which AFFA provided a grant of $1,500. We have also invited a few friends from Los Amigos del Arte Popular in Houston to join us. Susan Toomey Frost, who rescued the tile mural from a home about to be razed, will be on board to celebrate with us! The tour will be led by a knowledgeable guide from the San Antonio River Foundation, which was responsible for the art works along the River Walk's new extension, now reaching the San Antonio Museum of Art. We will also see some WPA art works along the river. 12:15 - Brunch buffet at La Fonda (the original one on Main Street) as a group & continued sightings of art work. 2:00 - 3:00 - Colors on Clay Exhibition, Talk & Book Signing by Susan Toomey Frost at the Witte Museum. The Witte's exhibition features a selection of brightly colored tiles decorated to reflect the popular imagery of Mexico and South Texas, from the outstanding private collection of Susan Toomey Frost, who also wrote the book Colors on Clay. In an adjoining gallery, the Witte also has the exhibition Bill Wittliff's Lonesome Dove Photographs: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at the Making of a Modern Classic. About transportation and cost: We want to rent a 24 passenger mini bus so we can mix, sip and freely enjoy each other's company en route. With bus transportation, breakfast snacks going down, wine and other snacks coming back, the specially guided river cruise, brunch at La Fonda, the Witte entrance, and all tips and fees, the cost will be $125/person if 24 people send in $50 deposits by September 5. If fewer than 24 people send in deposits, we will carpool, and apply deposits received to the per-person cost of $75, which will include gas for drivers, parking costs, and everything above (except wine, snacks and the bus). |
