The MAY PWS meeting is a COMBINED MEETING with the HAMPTON ARTS LEAGUE because the 4th Sunday is Memorial Day weekend and from past experience it's a very low attended meeting so we have moved it this year to the THIRD Sunday.
The HAL presentation will be a GALLERY TALK by Kacey Carneal, Tim OKane, Akiko Tanaka, and Walt Taylor who are the four artists represented in the latest exhibition at The Charles H. Taylor Arts Center. The talk starts at 2:30pm on the 20th.
Last month's meeting was very informative. The attorney talked about the latest changes to copyright law, how we artists could be affected, she delved into the digital copyright world too. You missed a great meeting. She has agreed to return in the future so maybe you can catch this presentation down the road.
The PWS Member show is chugging along. It's coming up in a few weeks. We have around fifteen entries at the moment, more may come in since the deadline was extended to the 14th. I would like to see more. Remember, NO commission on sales. Prize money!!!! (don't yet know exactly how much, but it will be something)! If you are interested or haven't decided yet, email me through the form(s) on the PWS site or if you have my direct contact information use that. I can email you the prospectus. It's not too late.
I want to publically thank our member Tom D. for contacting Dick Blick, Jerry's Art a Rama, and Cheap Joe's for their donations to the prizes in the show. He did a fabulous job.
