Calling for Angels! 125th Angel Anniversary Campaign
Is it you?
Are you one of OSA 1,000 Angels who want to spark the imagination of artists of all ages?
Have you made a pledge to build a healthy strong community filled with rich and vibrant art?
Be an OSA Angel.
OSA Angel ensures the School continues to provide innovative and quality art education which is both accessible and affordable to everyone.
Without your support, OSA wouldn't be able to assist hundreds of students with bursaries, nor provide outreach art programming for children
and youths at risk, and the art gallery wouldn't be accessible and free.
Can you imagine a city without art?
No. Neither can this City.
In these few weeks, you will be receiving your 125th Anniversary Angel Donor Card in the mail.
Be an angel. Fill in those cards, and return it with convenience in the self stamped envelop.
Every donation counts. Together let's make art for everyone!

Art School Notes
The directors of the Art School have just decided to devote an additional evening to the special study of architecture. The class will meet for the first time on Thursday , December 2nd, and during the balance of the season will meet every Tuesday and Thursday. It will be under the direction of Mr. Stalker, and will be in session three hours nightly. Notwithstanding the additional expense entailed by this arrangement no extra charge will be made for this year at any rate.
The class for the art model work will meet on Tuesday and Friday instead of Tuesday and Thursday as heretofore. This branch of art is becoming more popular daily, and Miss Barrett, whose experience in New York was very great, is lecturing her pupils with marked success.
The total number of people enrolled on the books of the Art School is 130.

How Can You Get Involved?
There are a few other ideas in the works but the ideas listed
here are the ones that have been developed to a greater extent.
