We would like to invite all members, anyone who is interested in becoming a member, or those interested in learning more about our organization to attend our annual meeting.  In addition to election of officers and miscellaneous business items, we will be brainstorming ideas to encourage community engagement in the organization and further involvement in arts in the community.

2022 Annual Meeting Notice

The Curry Arts booth at the Party in the Park on July 9 was a ROCKIN’ success!  Actually 300-plus rockin’ rocks!

Over 300 white-primed, flat river rocks were painted by children of all ages.  Paintings included dragons, unicorns, and unique personal designs.

Hoping that painting these rocks, in some small way, inspires these talented kids to find time for art elsewhere in their lives.

A big SHOUT OUT to Tammy Delaney for organizing the booth and to all the Curry Arts members who helped.

A good time was had by all.

 

 

 

It is with sincere regret that we announce that Curry Arts, Inc. and Soroptimist of Gold Beach will no longer host the annual Gold Beach Brew and Art Festival.

Multiple factors contributed to making this difficult decision.

The festival committee will refund vendors who had prepaid for the cancelled 2021 event but asked that their deposits be held until the next event.

Merchandise from previous festivals will be available for purchase at Dan’s Ace Hardware in Gold Beach.  Un-dated shirts and glasses will be sold for $10 each.  Proceeds will be split between Curry Arts and Soroptimist.

Proceeds from the 12 years of co-hosting this terrific event allowed Curry Arts, Inc. to donate over $30,000 to the Gold Beach schools’ arts and music departments.

Many thanks to all those who participated in making this event so successful over the years.

Time to renew your Curry Arts, Inc. membership!  Join now or renew your membership which will be good through August 31, 2023.

We encourage Lifetime Members to consider making an extra donation to help fund the Gold Beach School’s art and music programs this year.   Due to COVID, all fundraising programs have been suspended — the extra donations would be greatly appreciated to help fund the good work this organization does.

We also encourage all artists to consider upgrading their membership to become a Sponsoring Artist.  The $35 membership fee includes a personal gallery page with photos of your work and a bio, and as always, all funds go to support local art and music programs.
