Takedown will be at 5 p.m. on Sunday afternoon at which time pictures may be picked up (no sooner). Volunteers are still needed and will be greatly appreciated for both setup and takedown. Please call Warren Hillstrom to help out or if you have questions. HAA Business CornerMany of our members have businesses that we all may benefit from if we only knew about them. So, we now have a binder set up for the "Welcome Table" at the meetings that you can insert business cards or full-sized promos (8.5 x 11 inches) into. We'll also keep track of the businesses that offer us discounts. Calling all Artists to exhibit in our Rotating Group ExhibitsIf anyone wants their name included on the Rotating Exhibits List it is not too late. We are assembling a master list of artists, their media, subjects and choices of exhibits. The Rotating Group Exhibit Coordinator and Chairs will then have a list of people to contact when we are asked to open a new exhibit or when it is time to rotate in new work in an existing one. Please contact Sandy Norris by email or phone to add your name to the list. If you are interested in a particular exhibit, please contact the Chair for that exhibit for instructions. Definition of Art CategoriesTo remind our artists,the Art Categories for our exhibits and shows are: Originals, Prints, Photographs (by camera), and Computer Generated Art. We hope these specific labels will help the artist to define his/her work for the public and for entries into our shows. Miniatures ProgramMiniatures sold in conjunction with the program initiated by Barbara Kirchner have reached the first goal of raising $1,000.00 which will be donated to the Center for Visual and Performing Arts. The program will continue as long as Barbara Kirchner continues to receive miniatures from interested artists. The Miniatures are sold for $10.00 each at most of our association-sponsored events. From the WebmasterDon't forget to add your name and a copy of your painting to our Artist Directory. It's easy, just email or call Carole Novak, our Webmaster, for details. Also, if you sell giglee prints, note cards, etc., as well as originals, I will note that in your listing. Prints, etc., will help us to reach a wider audience. |
