Hi all, here’s the latest on RTArt Camp.  As I mentioned yesterday, we could not get a space in the main camp, so we are just north of the main RTR Camp, across a wash, on a separate street marked “RTR Musicians.”  As of late today, we now have some signage. We had a meeting today of artists...

Okay, here’s the latest info I have. Blaize drove through the entire RTR looking for a place where we could put up a few tables, have our own meeting area, etc. and it’s simply too packed already. So we will be camped on the road that’s marked RTR Musicians Camp, only you bear to the left...

Hi guys, today I had intended to be at RTR and find out where Bob is putting the RTArt Camp. However, my engine has been overheating every day and I’ve had one repair, but clearly need something more done. Probably the water pump or the radiator. So I’m going to be late. In the meantime...

Oh, man, just in time for RTArt Camp! I got an email ad from Aaron Bros and they are having one of their BOGO and BOG2 Sales. If you buy one canvas, you get two free. Same with some art supplies, and many others are Buy 1, get 1, including sketchpads and drawing pencils. So hit up Aaron Bros...

Lisa, this is a really great example of letting people know what they might want to buy or bring!  Thanks.  I’ve said it once before, but if you would like to learn a new skill at RTArt Campthat requires a bunch of supplies, you’ll want to get them on your way to Q.  The closest Walmart...

I am so excited about meeting all of the talented and enthusiastic artists who are willing to make RTArt Camp a reality at RTR 2018. Here’s what I know for sure: I’m going to arrive on the 10th to see where Bob is putting the Art Camp and put up a sign. We will have a Meet and Greet at noon...

Hi all, Blaize and I have been talking about having some drop-in activities that anybody might enjoy trying, even people who don’t realize that they are artists. In past years, there has been a button machine to make an RTR name tag, and everyone enjoyed making their own personalized button...

I'm excited that over a dozen people have said they can help with RTArt Camp in some way. So far, we have several folks who are willing to teach painting classes and/or walk around and help painters with their work or who are simply looking forward to working in the presence of other artists...

I would like to attend. Fully disabled, and a little concerned about what will happen when I can no longer climb the ladder up to my bed or handle dumping tanks, etc. Sue Soaring Sun 20-ft 1984 Lazy Daze mini-motorhome

Hi Suanne, I'm hoping to bring some fun easy projects that anybody might try.  Along the lines of our name tag/buttons from last year, in terms of how easy.  Project #1 that I've thought of is, go find a nice small rock, and I'll have white and black acrylic paint to paint it like a Day of the...

Thank you for the suggestions. I will go see a local sign maker and see what they can do for us. Sue

Good news! The RTArt Camp thread has been moved up to Important Threads at the top of the page, so it will get more attention. Speaking of attention...Bob will be selecting a spot for the RTArt Camp. I asked him for an area that might normally make up about a half dozen campsites, which I'd...

Oh I am relieved!  I'm so looking forward to this.

Bob, please see my earlier response, and I'll send you an email, too.  I'm ready to take full responsibility for RTArt Camp.  I was just unable to get on the forum here for a while.  I will be there at RTR early.  Give us whatever area you can.  Thanks, Sue

Bob, I apologize, I was unable to get on the forum for a while and did not see your Call to Action. You posted about midnight last night that, due to lack of response, RTArt Camp won't happen. Okay, I'm the one who initiated it and emailed you about it before posting here, and I will take...

So I got really happy when I realized we could do figure drawing or portrait drawing, simply by hanging out together at RTArt Camp and taking turns posing for short and long sketches!

I'm so glad you will be doing wire wrapping.  I want to learn!  And I find my phone tricky, too.  There were responses here I'd missed because I had a hard time navigating from one page to the next.  But I've got it now!

I would love to learn about oil painting.  I paint with acrylics and have wanted to expand my skills.

Of course beading would be wonderful!!  Thank you for participating.  I am really getting excited about this.

I've been gone for about a week, visiting family. Back now and beginning to put together a big Rubbermaid tote of art supplies that I can share. I shop lots of thrift stores for my business, so I'll keep my eyes open for cool things to bring. Kits are fun, especially for folks who maybe...
