    The Flagler Altered Artist Group is a SIG or ‘satellite’ of the Flagler
     County Art League.  It began in the spring of 2008 at the home of
    B.J. Baughman.  The founders include B.J., Eva Bishop, Judi Wormeck
    and Kathy Holland, although many of the folks at the first and second
    gatherings continue to be very active members.  About 90% of the
    group are members of FCAL…it is not a requirement, but it is
    encouraged because of the strong affiliation and the artistic venue
    of the art league.  We currently have about 20+ on our roll of which
    more than a dozen are very active.  

    The term ‘altered art’ refers to giving a new artistic like to old or used items which may or may not
    be quite ordinary.  The application of standard artistic techniques and some unconventional
    techniques serve in creating an artistic piece.  Some of the genre includes 2 and 3 dimensional
    mixed media art, but also items such as ‘altered books’, art journals, artist trading cards,
    assemblages, to name a few.  To learn to do altered art requires a certain knowledge of materials
    and techniques that may or may not be familiar to folks who only work in one medium.  And, the
    exploration of these techniques is what
    constitutes our monthly meetings.  Each
    member normally works on individual projects
    of their own and will bring them for “Show
    and Tell”.  We also have several group
    challenges each year.  We have displayed
    at the FCAL general meetings and also
    participated in Art in Park each Spring since
    we have been active.

    Our current collaborative project is an
    installation of our creations on 12 x 12
    canvases which is currently on exhibit at
    the FCAL Art Gallery.  We are also
    continuously altering our ‘traveling’
    WE BOOK.  We hope to exhibit this at an appropriate time and place as well.  The Flagler County
    Library has also offered us their glass cases several times for our projects.   Check out our new
    blog at Flagler Altered Art Blogspot
