November 2014

 While the artists wait for their new club’s new home to be completed they have stayed busy with two outstanding events in November. Club founder and vice president, Steve Piepmeier, organized a trip to the Tucson Art Museum for a private tour of the blockbuster new show, “The Figure Examined.” The tour was led by the museum’s curator, Dr. Julie Sasse, a former colleague of Steve’s from his art gallery days in Santa Fe, New Mexico. With more than seventy famous artists such as Picasso, Rodin, and Matisse, club members received the insider’s view of the most prestigious show in the museum’s ninety year history.
