What is the Art Club?

Who can join? The Art Club is open to all High School students at Welch.

What does it cost? The Art Club is a "pay to play" type of club. We don't have a particular amount for membership dues. Things each member (including me, the sponsor, Mr. Cruzan) is expected to pay for their club shirt yearly (usually around $15), pitch in for fuel for the vehicle on trips (usually around $10) with the majority of gas funds coming out of the clubs account, and then to pitch in to provide food for movie nights, etc.

What is our purpose for being: Unlike a lot of school organizations, the Art Club is not designed as a "competitive driven club." We are a place for students to unwind and relax without stress. We try to go on a trip each year that has two ingredients: some sort of exposure to art and have some fun.

Our Trips: As stated above, we try to go somewhere yearly tor two reasons: explore art in some form and to have a bit of fun. Some examples would be: Walking the river walk in Tulsa--the walk is filled with sculptures and it's a good chance to talk and have fun and meaningful conversations; Going to the Top of the Rock in Branson, it has a museum with a lot of ancient and modern art plus the nature trail.

Movie Nights: In the past we have had Friday night movie nights where we all pitch in to buy pizza and then watch a movie or two. Sometimes they are art related, sometimes they are not.

Bowling Nights: Sometimes we all meet in Miami at the Bowling Alley and bowl a couple of games and then go to eat somewhere.

Meetings: The Art Club has had the first Thursday of each month during lunch set aside as our monthly meeting time.
