CCAG Historian Passing on the Torch..........

Cheyenne County Art Guild,
        A note to say I am resigning from the wonderful job of being historian for the “Art Guild”. The plan is to bring all the scrapbooks and photo albums to the spring show for display for all to enjoy. I cannot consider taking any of it home for another year. This spring I will be 85 years and someone will enjoy having this historian job for the CCAG. This has been a fun job and I will pass it on to another person.
                                                Sincerely,
                                                Hank Jessen

Local CCAG Member's Art Featured in 2015 Mona Calendar

The Cheyenne County Art Guild received word that Paul Adkinson's painting titled "Winter's End" is one of thirteen artworks from the museum's permanent collection featured in the Museum of Nebraska Art's 2015 Calendar.  His painting is the featured artwork for the month of March.  In addition a brief biography about Mr. Adkinson was printed on the reverse side of the image.  According to Ms. Karen Humphrey, Director of Development at the Museum of Nebraska Art, MONA calendars are sent to many of their donors to thank them for their support of the Museum and are available to the public in the Weaver Museum Shop.  Mr. Adkinson is a self-taught artist who is a charter and continuous member of the Cheyenne County Art Guild.  He resides in Sidney where he continues to paint his award-winning and creative artworks.
