PANI ARTS NEWS

The Pani Arts Association meets the first
Tuesday of every month at Roan Chief Building
on the Pawnee Tribal Reserve beginning with a
Pot Luck supper at 6PM.  We urge everybody to
bring their favorite dish and come enjoy the
meal with us! We call this our monthly “Fun
Meeting” and invite a different artist to give a
presentation on their various artistic mediums.  
Please stop by for a bite to eat or just drop in to
see what exciting events may be happening!  

Beadwork classes are every Tuesday at
6:00pm at Building 1, where the tax
commission is.  Can’t get motivated to
complete that unfinished master piece? We
also encourage you to use this time as an
“Open Art” sessions, bring out your work of art
in progress, what ever it may be, and work on it
during this time.  

Everyone is welcome!

Visit Lillian Myers at the Bear’s Den Beads &
Things, Maramec, OK 918 454-2401 for your
beading supply needs.
