Special Guild Meeting in July

Cathy Evans — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 17:55:20 +0000

Members elected to have a special meeting in July to get ready for our Gallery Showing that is to be held in August at the Creamery Arts Center

Stephanie Cramer, Special Projects Director for the Springfield Regional Arts Council, will be our guest speaker to help us plan for this gallery showing. We will discuss how much work each member can display, what the Arts Council has to support the display, what the guild members must supply and specifics for delivering and picking up work.

If you plan to display work at this August Gallery Show, plan to attend on Tuesday, July 5, 2011. Networking begins at 6:30 pm. Stephanie’s presentation will begin at 7:00 pm.

The meeting will be held in the Creamery Arts Center, Art Education Classroom, upstairs. Extra parking is available at the Ice Park. A short walk through Jordan Valley Park access the Creamery.

The Gallery Show is open to all members who are current in their dues.

If you did not pay your dues in June 2011, your membership has expired.
Dues are still $20 per year, $10 for students and may be sent to:

July Meeting

Shari Walton — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 17:00:32 +0000

ATTENTION CURRENT AND POTENTIAL MEMBERS:

I know this is late notice, but there are still a few hours left. The July meeting is tonight, 7/6/10 at Braum’s, 4125 S. National Road, Springfield at 6:30 pm.

This meeting replaces the annual business meeting required by the Guild bylaws, last amended in 2003. We have been ignoring the current bylaws in many ways and it is time to re-evaluate them and develop something that we follow.

For example:

Should we exist as an organization to produce Art in the Park and delete our education and mentoring elements?

Should we keep these elements and start complying with them?

Should we require that exhibiting/juried members act as mentors to others in the group? (This means they would have to at least attend meetings.)

Should we adjust meeting dates to quarterly instead of monthly and have real, valuable programs with guest speakers?

Which night of the week should we meet?

There are a lot of questions and issues up for discussion. We will address all of these issues at this meeting. Then we will vote on them in August.

Any questions, call Cathy at her cell: 417-689-4536.

If you can’t come, please post you comments on this post.
