Normally our meetings start in January, but there was a conflict of scheduling in January and in February the Visual Arts Center had severe plumbing problems forcing the whole site to be closed for two weeks.
The Charles Taylor Visual Arts Center is still CLOSED and will remain closed past the 24th.
WE ARE STILL MEETING
BUT NOT AT THE ARTS CENTER!
Hello everyone,
Great news! We have a meeting place for March's meeting.
Chris R. has graciously offered up her home again (we met at her home for our October Pot Luck last year) for us to meet.
Conflicting schedules and then the plumbing problems at the Arts Center have forced us not to meet for two months, but thanks to Chris, we will meet on the 24th of March at 2:30-4:30pm at her home.
Contact PWS through the website for her address if you don't already know it.
We will have lots to discuss on the 24th as well as what we will be doing for the remainder of the year.
Lots of announcements too.
Bring your Bug's Life challenges if you painted something, or bring anything you have been working on or would like feedback on.
======================================================================
October's potluck is some time away but if you'd like to host it, or have an idea for the potluck, it's up for discussion.
Some ideas I have for discussion:
1. Dealing with rejection in juried shows.
2. How to work through or deal with "Painter's / Artist's Block."
3. How do you step out of your comfort zone, and once out, how to proceed?
4. Taking the leap: From Amateur to Professional (invite a full time artist in to share their ideas, or several)!
5. Photographing your art for shows, tips and tricks?
6. How to cut mats?
7. How to frame on a budget?
We have, several times in the past, discussed making a "group" purchase from places like Cheap Joe's, or Jerry's Art-a-Rama, or Dick Blick. I'd like to spend some time really discussing this. We could potentially save ourselves some cash by buying as a group. I have some thoughts on this.
======================================================================
Hope to see you at the meeting, and thank you Chris!!!
