VWS call for Entries and More Exciting News

Robert O’Brien was asked if VWS would like to have another show at the Southern Vermont Art Center in November 2007. . After some discussion amongst Board and Committee members, it was agreed that this would be an excellent opportunity for VWS. If you are not familiar with the Center (SVAC), be sure to attend our opening reception there tomorrow (Sat. ) 2-4 PM. You will see that this is a top professional organization. They need, however, to prepare their literature a year in advance. This means that we have to get an image to them for the postcard before the end of THIS month.

Here are the requirements for juried entries for the postcard image . PLEASE READ CAREFULLY, and follow directions as stated.
(Hopefully they will be 100% accurate- apologies again for my previous misinformation…)

1. Entries must be on a CD (high-quality 300dpi image, approx 4x5”), OR on a 4”x5” color TRANSPARENCY, OR, a high-quality PROFESSIONAL color PRINT (8.5 x11).
NO SLIDES WILL BE ACCEPTED

2. ONE ENTRY PER APPLICANT.

3. YOU MUST BE A CURRENT MEMBER IN GOOD STANDING. A CURRENT MEMBER CAN MEAN YOU ARE CURRENT FOR 2006 AND WILL PAY YOUR DUES FOR 2007 BEFORE JANURARY 1, 2007. IF YOU ARE A NEW MEMBER (SINCE NOV. 1, 2006) YOU CAN OPT TO APPLY YOUR DUES TO 2007. THIS WILL, HOWEVER, MEAN THAT YOU CANNOT VOTE AT THE ANNUAL MEETING.

2.Send your entries to :

Robert O’Brien

Other good news:

Rob O’Brien has distinguished himself once again by becoming a signature member of the National Watercolor Society. Where can you go from here, ROB? I don’t think there will be much more room after your signature for more honors! (grin). Congratulations, and many thanks for your excellent and continuing volunteer contributions to VWS. Robert hung our current show as well as taking entries and co-ordinating all the details and negotiations.
