New Berlin Rain Barrel Auction, May 13-27, 2017


2017 art at the mill

From: Richfield Art Fair <artfairrhs@gmail.com>

Art at the Mill is just a few months away. Is July 22, 2017, still open on your summer schedule? Art at the Mill has been in existence for 9 years. It is a juried art and fine craft fair held outside nestled among the trees and surrounded by historical buildings in the beautiful Richfield Nature/Historical Park (Washington County - Wisconsin).  

Amenities for exhibiting artists:
·        Ample space between booths
·        Easy pull-up for unloading
·        Reasonable $55 booth fee (before or on 4-1-17) or $65 (between 4-2-17 and 7-1-2017)
·        Low jury fee of $10 (waived for returning artists)
·        Booth reliever
·        Free coffee/pastries during setup time
·        Tickets for tour of historic buildings located in the park
·        Friendly staff

The quality of our fair is very important. The number of like exhibitors will be limited to assure a good balance and variety.  The quota for jewelry artisans has been reached. Therefore, no applications for jewelry exhibitors are being accepted. For other categories, apply soon for your best chance of being selected.

Advertising is also very critical for art fairs.  This event will be widely advertised in print, broadcast & social media and promoted through many local businesses. We want to reach as many potential attendees as possible. Free admission to the fair and the extra benefit of being able to tour historic buildings are attractive factors.

An application form and guidelines can be found at: www.richfieldhistoricalsociety.org (Home page, left column, scroll down to find the links to the documents). I would love to have you apply to exhibit.

Feel free to call or e-mail with any questions.

Richfield Historical Society

croquis cafe videos

From: Thomas Piedt

Hi everyone

Jim  Marsala recommended  and  provided the following site to practice  figure drawing on You Tube.  Go to You Tube and search for Croquis CafĂ© Videos. I  visited the site on You Tube - pretty cool.

It offers a variety of poses  and times similar to your experience  in the sketch club. The site also has  a model on a rotating  platform that you can pause on the view  most  pleasing to the artist.

Jim warned  not to go to their  web site independently -  go through You Tube  to avoid possible viruses.

It's free on You Tube - but you can offer a donation if you like.
