WPA membership,
I
am writing to remind you that our May membership meeting is coming up
this Wednesday, May 13 at West Allis City Hall, 7525 W Greenfield Ave.
We will be featuring a talk by Lorin Wiley titled, “How Color and Value
Support Dynamic Composition.” Lorin encourages members to bring examples
of your work. While this is not a critique Lorin plans to use members
work as examples during his presentation, so please feel free to bring
work to share.
Our
exhibit at the Schauer in Hartford was another strong showing of
members work. Thank you to all who planned and participated in this
show. I would also like to extend my apologies for not announcing the
award winners for this exhibit. I appreciate all who came to the
reception and were part of the festivities. Given the distance and other
commitments not everyone can always make the openings. Because of this
and in the interest of promoting our group I am responsible for
contacting and congratulating winners as well as posting this
information on the blog site. I failed to get this done for this
exhibit. I will be sure to make this responsibility a priority in the
future.
Schauer award winners:
Best of Show-Chris Behrs
1st place- Carol Chapman
2nd place- Judy Grochowski
3rd place- Rita Burnap
Honorable Mention:
Sheryl Zirbes
Marcia Gorra-Patek
Debbie Callahan
Our
next exhibit, scheduled for this October, is at the Cedarburg Cultural
Center. We have space to show 85-90 paintings. This is a great
opportunity for our members and is great exposure for our group,
however, there is also cause for concern. In past exhibitions we have
struggled to have even 40 paintings to exhibit. Our exhibit committee is
confident we can meet the goal of 85-90 paintings and they will be
discussing ideas at our meeting to address this.
I
would encourage all members to consider entering at least one painting,
even if you have not shown before. If everyone submits one painting we
would be halfway to our goal; two paintings each and we would reach it.
The board is available to assist members in any way we can to help you
take advantage of this opportunity. Details will be given at the
meeting, through e-mail correspondence, and on our blogsite.
As always, please feel free to contact me and express your ideas and concerns. See you at the meeting.
Your president,
Chris Behrs
