Bonham, Texas -- Windom Art School founders, Tatiana Murray and Wanda Oliver, will have a show in the East Gallery at the Creative Arts Center in Bonham during the month of April. The show will open with a reception from 5:00-7:00 p.m. on April 4. Our show will coincide with the annual Budding Artists Kids and Youth Art Contest. Tatiana’s students will be well represented in the show, so it is a wonderful opportunity to see the work of teacher and students side by side. The awards ceremony for the contest is at 5:30 p.m. on April 4.

The show is also an opportunity to get a sneak peak at some of the work the Windom Art School has done for this year’s Fannin County Family Crisis Center’s Empty Bowls fundraiser. Representative glass pieces from the school will be on display.

Empty Bowls

You may have heard that the Windom Art School has been making glass and ceramic bowls for the Fannin County Family Crisis Center’s spring fundraiser, Empty Bowls.  The effort began in late October, 2024, and we are happy to report that at last count 275 bowls were completed or in the late stage of construction.  Tickets are now on sale, and we hope to see Fannin County turn out in force for this incredibly worthy cause.

Open Studio

Open Studio is also a great way to be in community with, and inspired by, like minded people. Open Studio fees are $12.50 per session.  Sessions are at least 2 hours (once in the studio, there’s no telling how long we will stay).  The School supplies all tools and ancillary materials you need, and you supply your major materials such as glass, paper, clay, and ink. Times are currently Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays 2-4pm, and Mondays 5:30-7:30pm.
