OLD BUSINESS
Tricia discussed the BWS Autumn Show at the Waldron and distributed information packets to all who signed up to exhibit. This meeting is the final time to indicate interest. Tricia emphasized the need for participants to read carefully the instructions in the packet.
Delivery date is Tuesday, October 30 from 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The Waldron staff will hang the show.
Pick up date is November 12 before noon.
Postcards will be labeled and mailed to the mailing list provided by the Waldron. BWS members will receive 10-12 each to distribute. Postcards require a 26 cent stamp.
Cheryl Duckworth will provide the flowers for the reception, which takes place November 2, 5:30 – 7:00 p.m.
Food for the reception is needed and Tricia circulated a signup sheet for contributions. Wine is permitted, and punch will also be provided.
Jacki Frey reported on workshop activity. Due to the numerous events taking place this fall, BWS will not hold a fall workshop. Jacki has arranged for Judi Betz, nationally known watercolorist and educator, to hold a five day workshop the first week of August. The cost is estimated to be about $350. Judi will advertise nationally, so we anticipate having non-members. The workshop will take place at the First Christian Church.
Tricia circulated the Signature Status form and procedure as presented by Jeanne Iler and Meri Reinhold. Sammye Smith moved to accept it, seconded by Jacki Frey, and it was approved unanimously. Those who are interested in applying may contact Jeanne Iler or Tricia Wente. Thanks to Jeanne and Meri for their work on this project.
Election of officers is coming up at the November meeting. Jeanne Iler will head the nominating committee. Members who are willing to serve on the committee and/or as officers are encouraged to speak with any of the current officers or Jeanne to express their interest. Tricia, by the by-laws, may not continue as president. Carol Rhodes will stay on as treasurer. Therefore, the nominations are open for president, 1st and 2nd vice presidents, and secretary. Jeanne Dutton will continue as editor of Brushstrokes, which alleviates the duties of the secretary. Committees will be reviewed and members will be asked to volunteer for those committees at the next meeting.
Connie Brorson gave a report on the show at tutto bène. All media, including watercolor, acrylic, oil, pastels, collage, etc. are acceptable for this show. The medium does not have to be transparent watercolor. Members may exhibit one painting and it should be for sale.
Pieces must be delivered Sunday, November 11, between 1:00 and 4:00 p.m. or Monday November 12 after 11:00 a.m. The show will be hung by Connie and helpers.
There is a $10 entry fee, payable at the time of drop off. This will cover the cost of printing postcards and mailings.
tutto bène does keep 35% commission on any sales, so work should be priced accordingly.
The reception is scheduled for Sunday, November 18, 4:00 – 6:00 p.m.
Connie requested assistance in creating the labels for the show and Jeanne Dutton volunteered. An email will be sent to participating members asking for the necessary information: title, medium, price.
Marci Widen, owner of tutto bène, will promote the event through her usual channels. The dates of the show are November 15-December 15, which includes Gallery Walk on December 7.
A paint out was announced which takes place on October 20 in Brown County; however, BWS holds its final paint out and chili luncheon on that same day. Discussion took place regarding changing the date of our paint out to allow members to participate in both. Steve Jackson commented that Alice had worked hard to make the arrangements for our paint out, so we should keep our date. It was agreed that our final paint out will take place on October 20 at the Lake Monroe Marina.
Alice Sharp circulated a signup sheet for paint out participants to bring dishes to accompany her home made chili, and members were encouraged to come have a good day in a beautiful setting, painting the day away.
November’s meeting will take place at the library.
Nancy Metz moved to adjourn; Alice seconded the motion, and the meeting was adjourned. At that time, a live model took her place and many members enjoyed an evening of painting.
