Recently, FOUR of the our members heard of their acceptance into the ASBA 25th International Exhibition in New York for this coming fall! The four artists are:   – Crystal Driedger:  Heirloom beans (coloured pencil) – Kim Spink:  Nasturtiums (coloured pencil) – Sengmany Phommachakr:  Passion fruit (watercolour) – Margaret Best:  Red oak (watercolour)   This is also the first time in a juried ASBA exhibitions for Crystal and Kim.  We suspect it is also a record year for Canadian artist content in this international juried exhibition.
