This sure is proof that art does not have to hang on the wall. Every bead placed with intention, every piece tells a story. Another Cass Area Artists member was honored at the 2026 Juried Carnegie Center for the Arts exhibit last weekend. Congratulations to Connie Kuilema for Third Place for her artistic beadery necklaces!  These necklaces don’t just accessorize – they speak volumes. Take a look at her book exhibited as well!

Here’s a brain challenge for you… how many ways can you fill a bowl? Kim Sawyer shared just a few, but share your ideas with the group! A long overdue thank you is awarded to artist Neil Benham for the woodturned bowls gifted to the CAA members during the holiday meeting.

Cass Area Artists knows that winners of the People’s Choice award at our Cass County Regional Gallery can get excited about their award…but we don’t usually get to see that excitement and snag a photo of it.

However, last Saturday was our lucky day and our winner, Charles Waterbury, brought his own cheering section to celebrate!

Congratulations from Cass Area Artists! You made our day!
