Normally our meetings start in January, but there is a conflict.
Please see below and hopefully we will see you in February!
Hello everyone,
Happy New Year to you all.
I have to notify everyone that because of a conflict with the Charles Taylor Visual Arts Center on the 27th (the HAL member show reception is at the same time) our first member meeting for the year is going to have to be postponed until February 24th (assuming no additional conflicts).
In the past I would have met with James to discuss the upcoming year during the Saturday class or in some other informal way. This didn't happen with Jennifer and I mistakenly didn't get with her sooner to discuss possible conflicts. I can't have the meeting earlier in the month because I have other commitments with family. The only other option is to have the first meeting in February, on the 24th. I have asked Debbie to check to see if the 24th is a clear date, and will make arrangements with Jennifer to look over the coming year to insure we don't have this issue again if there is any way to avoid it. In this case, there isn't any way to avoid it. My humble apologies.
So, February is our planning meeting for the year. I have already devised a list of 34 potential challenges for us to select from for the (now) 9 meetings. Please think about what demonstrations you would like to see, what techniques or water based medium you'd like to explore or have showcased!
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.
Ok, that's it for now. Again, the JANUARY MEETING IS CANCELLED.
WE MEET ON FEBRUARY 24th, 2:30 at the Charles Taylor Visual Arts Center, Hampton, VA. (unless there is another unavoidable conflict, which I hope there isn't).
Please email me if you have questions.
Thanks Ray M. for bringing this to my attention!!!
