Wipapa: Dues are due and other housekeeping

From: WIPAPA <mricl4hlth@gmail.com>

Hello fellow plein air painters!

October is here and with it time to renew your membership (or join if you haven't!) in WIPAPA! If I receive your $$$ before January 1st it's $30...after it's $40. So save yourselves 10 big ones and send it in!!

 Item number two: If you are a event director or on a Plein Air competition committee for 2016 I have begun to add your links to the blog! (http://wipapa.blogspot.com/)
So I need this info from you asap. I need it as always to be in the form of a link on your website. Even if it just says "save this date". Keep in mind that many artists must turn in their vacation requests before January 1st so if you wish many artists at your event they need to be able to plan well ahead of time! I know of three brand new events in the works in Wisconsin for next year!

And three! Thank you all for your participation in WIPAPA this year! Every brush stroke counts!

The instigator, Wendie

Wisconsin Pastel Artists' President's letter 10/5/15

from: cbehrs
@att.net
 
Hi all,

October is here and our exhibit at the Cedarburg Cultural Center is right around the corner.
I am excited to hear we have more than enough work committed to fill both galleries and more. Thank you for making this show a priority.
(as long as you're now in the habit of getting in the studio more often, keep it up!)

I have been a little lax in my duties but I want to commend our board members for their work on this exhibit, the John Preston workshop in September, the meeting planning, and keeping the finances in order.
They have been working tirelessly to keep this organization vibrant and providing opportunities for us to grow and show.
Please thank them for their commitment to the WPA. They are Marcia Gora-Patek (vice president), Carol Chapman (recording secretary and exhibit committee), Judy Grochowski (exhibit committee),
and Debra Patterson (treasurer). Thank you for all your work!

As always, please feel free to contact me with any cares or concerns.
We are always open for suggestions for guest artists, workshops you would be interested in, and any way we can improve the WPA.

Thank you,
Chris
