Sculpture Guild Cup Drive!

The USM Sculpture Guild is hosting a cup drive on April 30th from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM. This fundraiser supports the student club and helps to provide funds for trips to conferences and professional meetings.

Buy a handmade art cup and get a free margarita!!! After that all margaritas are only $2!!! What a deal!

Cup drive will be at Caliente Grille on Hardy Street in Hattiesburg.

So come on by, buy an art cup, drink some margaritas (or not) and while your at it have a bite to eat, all the while supporting the great students of the USM Sculpture guild!

Take a look at our great student blogs in the side bar. Writing and producing a blog page is free and a great way to get your ideas and work out into the public. Blogger also has the ability to link up with your Face Book page so every time you write a new post the information is made available to a wide group of folks. Check out how easy it is to do one at www.blogger.com . If you get one going and you want to have it posted here, let me know and I'll review it and get it connected with our page. Of course we want art related content, but blogs can be used for any number of ideas you might have. Check it out, just don't forget to "follow" this blog when you do.
