January / February 2007 Newsletter (PDF)

Dear Friends and Students of Ferencak Gallery & School of Art,

I hope you've all had a wonderful holiday season.  As we gear up for the New Year, I'm enthusiastically preparing to expand my course offerings, recruit many more students, and keep my classes fun, processed based, and (of course) creative.

I'm writing to you today to ask for your support in the form of a testimonial or quote about how you or your children have benefited from my art classes.  If you own a piece of Ferencak Gallery art, please consider a comment about your purchase (pictures of Ferencak Gallery art in your home would be truly appreciated, too!).  This information may be posted on my website and other marketing materials.  I'd be truly grateful if you could take a quick moment to send me a line or two!

Watch for my upcoming newsletter soon.  If you or your children have participated in a class this winter, you'll soon receive a cd containing pictures from the class!

I'm attaching my current special in a pdf format.  We have openings in our Saturday afternoon and Wednesday afternoon classes.  And, I'm booking birthday parties so please reserve your space if you'd like to celebrate your child's birthday at Ferencak Gallery & School of Art.  Please share this information with anyone whom you think might be interested.

Parent Date Night in December was a huge success!  We had 10 young artists, made homemade pizza, holiday cookies, and watched a myriad of holiday videos while drawing & painting.  I'll let you know about the next Parent Date Night soon.  Any requests for a specific night - please reply?  I'm curious to know if you prefer Friday, Saturday or weekday evenings.  The time is from 6 - 10pm.  The cost is $25 per family.  This is a value-added bonus for our students and families.  Parent Date Night is less structured than a regular class - it's simply a fun night of pizza, popcorn, movies and crafts.

Have a wonderful New Year!

Dawn Ferencak

Dear Friends,

Many of you know that Ferencak Gallery & School of art students designed a pig sponsored by Wednesday Journal for Oak Park.  Dawn also completed a pig for Cafe le Coq restaurant.  Click on the links below to see pictures on Wednesday Journal's web site and streaming video from ABC News Chicago.  Of course, visit www.ferencakgallery.com for more pictures soon to come!

Watch the Wednesday Journal website for more pictures of the "Swine Lake" pig from start to finish.  The attached pdf is a short story from this week's Wednesday Journal.

Take care,
Dawn
