The Bluegrass Tolers Decorative Artists chapter began over 30 years ago in May, 1983. It was organized by those who had a sincere desire to paint and share knowledge of their talents and skills.
The basis of the organization is the same today as when it was organized. A constitution and by-laws were established and approved by the National Society of Decorative Painters when the chapter began. The chapter still functions in accordance with the rules of these documents.
To qualify for membership in the Bluegrass Tolers chapter, each member must also be a member in good standing with the National Society of Decorative Painters.
The chapter meets the third Thursday of each month at the Woodford County UK Extension Office, 165 Beasley Road, Versailles, KY. We begin painting at 9:30 AM and ask that everyone arrive early enough to be ready to paint by then. Our lunches are provided by members who volunteer for that service. A business meeting is conducted after lunch before we begin painting for the afternoon.
The painting instructor may be a chapter member or an invited guest artist. The project is presented in a prior month with a sign-up sheet available for those who wish to participate. The artist plans for the number who have registered for the class. The price of the project is determined by the instructor, and includes instructions, picture, paint, surface, etc.
The Bluegrass Tolers sponsor an annual retreat each fall. Thus far, the retreat has been held at Lake Cumberland State Park in Jamestown, KY.
We invite you to share our classes and retreat. A lot of fun is there for the having!!
