Vanguard Artists, founded in 1977, is a premier group of professional artists who meet at 1:00pm on the first Friday of the Month (except summers) at the Sun City West Foundation in Sun City West, Arizona. Its major focus is to provide a forum for the critiquing of art work produced by each artist. This analysis of painting results in generating better quality work. Vanguard Artists, with its quest for excellence, enriches the community through networking, education and ultimately, finer art.

October 2, 2009 Meeting
Another good meeting of the Vanguard Artists was held Friday, October 2. We met in our new meeting venue at Unitarian Universalist Church. Before the meeting the Pastor of this church, Walt Wieder, introduced himself to me and welcomed our group to the church and stated how happy he was that we chose their facility for our meetings. Walt also admitted to being a pastel artist, or at least a pastel artist wannabe. He showed me some of his paintings on his iPod and he is, indeed, a pastel artist!A good critique session followed the short business meeting, with many paintings thoughtfully reviewed and critiqued by the members.
Mary Schubert took photos during the meeting, thanks Mary, and they can be viewed by clicking here for a slideshow.
