VOLUME 8 September 2007
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!
Yes, it is a "New Year" for the Phoenix Artist Guild
and it's going to be a good one for sure.
All members who are Juried into Arizona Art
Alliance, please show your support for the next
fall show by deciding to enter your Best work.
Through our PAG you can reserve one, two,
three or more panels at the rate of $45.00 each
for the entire 3 day show. The 2007 fall show will be
held on November 30th, December 1st, and 2nd
at the Glendale City Hall Annex. This coincides
with the Gala Opening of the "Glendale Christmas
Glitters". This event will bring in thousands of
people. All Artists who participate in this show will
be required to participate in "setting-up" or "working
in the show" or the "take down". I hope we will have
a BIG Response! Plan on 2 to 3 hours during the
show for your participation.
A"New Years Resolution" for all PAG members who are not as yet juried into the AAA, please make a big effort to do so.
Larry Andrews, your Representative to the AAA
Larry Andrews and Dr. Carl Hoelle also run the Ways and Means so remember to bring your donations.
Presidents's Message
What a hot summer we have had! I hope you were all able to stay reasonably cool, and busy, and in good spirits! We have an exciting year ahead and I am eager to begin. I know that change can sometimes be difficult but somehow we bounce back—therefore I know you will all react positively to this latest one—the change in our meeting place. We struggled most of last year with the parking problems at the Beatitudes Campus and from what I have been told, it will be some time before that situation changes. We have been so fortunate to have the support of Beatitudes Church, (using their parking lot for our Artists Studio Cleanout last year) and they have come to our rescue once again by allowing us to use the church facility without charge.
The meeting room (at least until the end of the year) will now be The Britt Chapel. It is in the one-story building just to the east of the main church. Located on the SOUTHEAST corner of 7th Ave and Glendale, there is plenty of parking and NO construction!
Your Board of Directors has been busy most of the summer making plans for the coming year. Our show chairman, Alice Okoneski and BetteLou Tobin have worked tirelessly planning and organizing our upcoming show. Please give them your appreciation by sending your entries in a timely manner. Everyone eligible should participate. Enter your best work, properly framed and it will be a smash!
Okay everybody _ no excuses! Show up at our first meeting of the year and pick up your brand spanking new directories. They are expensive to mail so help defray expenses by showing up to pick yours up in person. We will have social hour promptly at 6:30 _ this should be fun since we haven't seen each other for a long time _ lots to talk about! See you there!
