May 2024 Art Challenge – Henri Matisse
We are excited to announce May’s art challenge. Pick any Henri Matisse artwork and interpret it in any medium and style you prefer.
Matisse's "mastery of the expressive language of colour and drawing, displayed in a body of work spanning over a half-century, won him recognition as a leading figure in modern art.”
All artwork images are due May 7. We will share the artwork at the May 9 artist demonstration.

Miniature Art
We are excited to announce a new, possibly ongoing, member-participation activity: Creating and Donating Mini-Art in support of Folsom Lake College's Free Little Art Gallery (FLAG) project.
A mini “gallery” is housed in the college library, as a space to display tiny art of all kinds – paintings, drawings, sculpture, collage, kinetic works, sewn or crocheted artifacts, tiny zines – whatever you can imagine and create. Only restriction – no larger than 3” x 3” x 3”.
Free mini art canvasses are available at the FAA monthly demos to members who wish to participate. Bring your finished artwork to our monthly demo - which we'll collect and deliver to the college. You can also drop off your artwork at the College Library, the Equity Center, or the Innovation Center (10 College Parkway in Folsom). Works will be displayed for a week(ish), and then made available for members of the college community to take home.
We will continue this activity for at least the next three months, at which time we will assess whether there is sufficient interest to keep it going.
