Yesterday was our third portfolio discussion meeting hosted at the home of our member Jen, who prepared a delicious lunch buffet! There were 10 of us there to learn about 4 more of our portfolio pieces. Sharing their information today were Judy, Jacqui, and Jen. All of their portfolio pieces were vastly different and we learned so much from their presentations!

Today was another fabulous informational meeting. 14 of our Spring-Ford members met at the home of our gracious host, Cathy. We had about half an hour of grazing and chatting then got down to business! Today we learned about 4 more of our portfolio pieces with presentations by Cathy, Rachel, and Pam. This year’s portfolio sure has some interesting art, the students are going to see a wide variety of styles for sure . 😁

Today we started our informational meetings where members share info on portfolio pieces which they have researched. This is how we all learn about the 20 pieces which we will present to the students starting in January . Thank you to our member Kelley who hosted our meeting, and we welcomed 3 new members who will be joining our group this year!
Anne and Kelley both shared their excellent research on 4 of our portfolio pieces, teaching us all about 4 very interesting and different pieces of art . ( Kelley’s kitty was also very interested in the artwork with the fish! 😊)

Today was our new school year kick off meeting graciously hosted by our member Pam. We enjoyed a multitude of goodies then unveiled our 2026-27 portfolio! All our members chose one or two pieces to research and we set up our meetings to discuss each pieces of artwork. We were happy to welcome 2 new members, Margaret and Jacqui, plus see all our returning members as well! We’re looking forward to another great year presenting art to the K-6 grade students at Spring-Ford. 😁

Today was the all important portfolio exchange meeting in Elkins Park. Representatives from all our AGTS DV chapters were there to turn in their 2025-26 portfolios and pick up their new ones for the 2026-27 school year. It was a wonderful meeting with a lovely continental breakfast and then remarks from several members of our AGTS DV leadership team. AGTS is going strong and continues to bring art appreciation to students as a supplement to their school art classes. This is a great organization with volunteers who clearly love what they do .

Today we held our end of the year wrap up meeting, graciously hosted by our member Pam. It was great to all get together one last time to share experiences, snacks, and review the past year. Everyone agreed that it had been another wonderful year and our portfolio was a big hit with all the students. We also welcomed a potential new member and we started to plan for next year! Wishing a great summer to all our members! 🌸☀️🎨

Many of you who follow our page are familiar with our beloved Gail Wellington. We miss her guidance, her wit, and her wisdom.
Along with AGTS, Gail’s other passion was ArtFusion 19464, where she had served as board president. Gail was a huge supporter of art education, and last year they renamed their scholarship fund in her memory. It has been one year since Gail‘s passing and ArtFusion is accepting donations to the Gail Wellington Scholarship Fund.
Pictured is the tile they had created in her memory which is inspired by the style of one of Gail’s favorite artists, Romero Britto.
If you are so inclined, please check out ArtFusion 19468’s page, and contribute to the scholarship fund. Any amount would be greatly appreciated in honor of the one and only Gail Wellington!

Several of our chapter members recently met for lunch then attended a district wide presentation by Jonathan Mandell, a local artist who creates murals from glass, tiles, precious stones, and other items. He explained his process and shared several examples of his work. A good time was had by all!
Pictured left to right are Pam Silver, Judy Stevens, Jonathan, Pat Keeney (AGTS VP), Lisa May, Anne Lail, and Shannon Cummings.

Today we finished all of our portfolio presentations so we are done until next year.
We ended the year on a high note though, with 2 of our volunteers having the pleasure of presenting AGTS to their grandsons’ classes! All 3 boys attend the 5/6 Center .
Our volunteer Rachel is pictured with her grandson Shane. Our volunteer Pam is pictured with her grandson Callan (pink shirt) and her other grandson Kaden (orange shirt).

We are finishing up our year here at the 5/6 Center by presenting our portfolio to 24 of Ms. Carlo’s classes. Our volunteer Lisa is shown featuring the photograph of an antique tricycle, circa early 20th century. The students are surprised to see the difference between this and the tricycles they knew from their younger days, especially when we tell them that it was made of iron and no doubt very heavy. With the velvet seat and headrest and handlebars made from maple wood, this was considered very luxurious and probably owned by a wealthy family .
