SPECIAL MEETING! (Wednesday - 9/12/2012)

On Wednesday, September 12th, at 7:00 p.m. Prismacolor representative Shelly Minnis will show us the latest in colored pencils! For those members who attended her program two years ago, you know this will be a great meeting and opportunity to learn more about our medium of choice.

Shelly also brings the latest in colored pencils and many samples! I know meetings during the week are tough but this is one meeting you won't want to miss!

Looking forward to seeing you all September 12th, 7:00 p.m. at our new regular meeting place at the Heights Cumberland Presbyterian Church!

Sincerely Your Prez,

Jeff Stephenson
President, CPSA - DC219

REMINDER/RECAP: Our Show at First Unitarian Church, May 29th

First: thanks to everyone who contributed art materials for the hospitalized veterans. Good work gang.

Second: here are the drop off and pick up schedule details for the show at the First Unitarian Church. Remember, if you possibly can send them your paperwork before Saturday morning if would relieve some anxiety on their part. I think they're a little nervous that there won't be enough stuff to fill the space.


LOCATION: First Unitarian Church, 3701 Carlisle NE, ABQ (plenty of parking)

ARTWORK DROP OFF / SHOW HANGING
May 29: SATURDAY, 8:30 am - until complete
Required: Substantial frames with wire hangers - "ready to hang"

Labels - with title, price and your name - download here.

Remember their commission is 30% and they promise to forward your payment no later than two weeks after the end of the exhibition.

RECEPTION: Confirmed date & time, set-up arrangements etc, as soon as I hear (next day or so). Then it's up to us to invite everyone we know to come.

SPECIAL MEETING: Tuesday, Nov. 3rd

Chapter 219 CPSA:
We are having a special meeting Tuesday night, Nov. 3, 6:15 p.m. at the Cherry Hills Library, 6901 Barstow NE. The library is at the corner of Barstow and Harper, 1 block east of the intersection of San Antonio and Wyoming.

At the meeting Shelley Minnis, southwest area representative for Prismacolor, will present new products and other information from Prismacolor. She will also take any feedback we may have for Prismacolor. (There will be door prizes.)

EVENT: Go Arts Festival, Downtown ABQ

Attention Chapter 219! This coming weekend is the Go! Arts Festival in downtown Albuquerque and for the second year in a row we will have a booth to promote our work and our group. However, we do plan to do things a little differently this year. Instead of collecting artworks from as many members as possible and setting-up everyday, we will have one or two tables with a selection of 2-3 member pieces on display and a good supply of our brochures to hand out to interested artists. We will also be selling prints and note cards - if anyone would like to submit these items, please contact Midge. We woud like to have at least one 'information' person and one person demonstrating at the booth at all times - alternates are welcome. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Midge ASAP as we need to get all arrangements finalized before Friday.

Schedule:
Friday, September 25 11am-9pm
Saturday, September 26 11am-8pm (booth will close during meeting time)
Sunday, September 27 11am-5pm

Additional information can be found at the link included above.

Thanks so much!
