Siskiyou Decorative Artists

About Us

Welcome

Welcome to the online home of Siskiyou Decorative Artists, the southern Oregon chapter of the Society of Decorative Painters.

We urge anyone interested in decorative painting to join us in developing their skills and meeting new friends.

If you would like to check us out in person, we welcome you to attend a chapter meeting & paint-in as a guest. You can attend as a guest twice, and we would love to meet you!

Meetings

Our chapter meets at the Live Oak Grange in Rogue River, Oregon. We usually meet on the fourth Saturday of each month, but please check the Calendar page for specific dates and meeting times.

What We Do

We offer a variety of classes and seminars in several different mediums taught by both local and travel teachers. Please enjoy your visit to our website and come back often!

Temporary Chapter Meeting COVID Protocol

In order that we may safely hold chapter meetings again, we have implemented a temporary protocol to follow during these COVID-19 times. These measures will be in effect until our state is declared open by the governor. The measures to be followed at all indoor chapter functions include:

Each person is responsible for providing her own table. If you are unable to do so, let someone on the board know so we can help set up a Grange table for you. If you use a Grange table, you must cover it. We have thin table coverings available to purchase for $1 and they can be cut in half for two uses.

There will be no shared snacks or desserts.

Each person is responsible to collect and take home her own trash, including any trash from lunch. Bring a small trash bag to keep at your table.

Lunch should be eaten at your own table.

When you are seated at your own table, you don't need to wear your face mask. However, whenever you leave your table you must wear a face mask.

We will continue to hold our monthly raffles. All raffle items will be sprayed with a sanitary spray, and we ask that no one handle the items.

We hope these precautions are short-lived. We are trying to maintain a consistent policy until we are pandemic free. A healthy painter is a happy painter!

Karen Damerow will be teaching this cute Shara Reiner project. Please see the Members Only page for project information. In addition to painting, we will hold a gift exchange with no stealing due to COVID concerns. The chapter will supply lunch and a special dessert. Please plan to bring your own table or arrange to use a Grange table, and wear your mask when not seated at your table. We're hoping to have a fun and safe party with a few changes to keep us socially distanced. We hope to see you there!
