Africa’s Beauty The continent of Africa encompasses vast lands with endless diversity. From Botswana, which is dominated by the Kalahari Desert, to the Okavango Delta, one of the world's largest inland river deltas, South Africa contains some of the oldest archaeological and human-fossil sites in the world. Archaeologists have recovered extensive fossil remains from a series of caves in Gauteng Province. The area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has been branded "the Cradle of Humankind”. Kenya has considerable land area devoted to wildlife habitats, including the Masai Mara, where blue wildebeest participate in a large-scale annual migration. The "Big Five" game animals of Africa, that is the lion, leopard, buffalo, rhinoceros, and elephant, can be found in Kenya. Kilimanjaro is the fourth most topographically prominent peak on Earth.

Tara Ritacco - Phoenix Art Museum and U.S. Capital
The Violet Protest. Each and every one of you, whether red or blue, has stepped up to say that
we believe in the core values we all want to make real in America.
It is with great hope that we believe that our hands will make a tangible representation of our belief in these values -
a gesture that cannot be ignored because of the spirit each Violet Protest square will carry with it to the members of the 117th Congress.
Violet Protest Square - made by Tara Ritacco from Carlsbad, CA
• Respect for the other • Citizenship • Compromise
• Country over party and corporate influence
• Courage • Candor • Compassion • Creativity
Five entries by Tara Ritacco that will be part of Exhibit and delivered to U.S. Congress.
Soar Into Spring 2021
“Soar Into Spring”
2021 Mini Challenge
2021 brings us a new year with the budding of spring.
Let us welcome this year with a mini excursion to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
At the Museum we find a world renowned collection of art: statuary, paintings, photographs, decorative furnishings, textiles, porcelain…on and on.
Artists visit the Museum to learn and be inspired.
The museum’s vaults are filled with objects collected from all corners of the world and throughout world history.
The Board has selected two pieces of art from the collection for this challenge.
Quilts on the Wall invites members to create a miniature textile art piece.
Use the art work of Henri Matisse and Mariano Rodriguez to
get your imagination to “spring” into action.
Do you see colors, shapes, moods, images, textures, and
objects that bring the feeling of Spring’s rebirth?
Let your artwork Soar Into Spring
The size is 12” x 16” - portrait or landscape orientation.
Your tour de spring will debut at our April 2021 Happy Hour.
Madame de Pompadour by Henri Matisse The Painted Cock by Mariano Rodriguez
