As always, I would like to say that juried shows are very subjective. Gallery owners have many reasons to accept a painting or not. Besides individual taste , sometimes it is a matter of space considerations, what looks good with what, and other unknown factors. If you are a new member, especially, I encourage you to not be discouraged. Go to the opening with an open mind, and see what one of our shows looks like. It will be well worth your time.

Pick-up of entries not juried in: any time during gallery hours. (10:30-5:30 daily). ALL works not sold must be picked up Sept. 9 or 10 during gallery hours.

And speaking of the opening, I would encourage everyone to go, whether you entered the show or not. This is about supporting VWS and our gracious hosts.

You will notice 2 paintings marked "reserve". These will be put up if there is room. If not, they will be held , and put up if/when there is a space for them.

Thank-you Lori Klein of the Artisan's Gallery, and Gary Eckhart, our show co-ordinator for all your time and effort to put on this show.

REMINDER: OPENING AT THE ARTISAN'S GALLERY:
Saturday, August 11, 4 PM-7 PM

Gary has also informed me that :

TWO OTHER EVENTS THAT WILL BE OF INTEREST FOR THOSE ATTENDING THE OPENING OF
THE VWS SHOW WILL BE THE "BIG RED BARN SHOW" AND THE "VERMONT PHOTO SHOW".
BOTH OF THESE WILL BE RUNNING SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THE VWS SHOW.

THE "BIG RED BARN SHOW" IS A NON-JURIED SHOW HELD IN THE HISTORIC BARN AT
THE LAREAU FARM (HOME OF AMERICAN FLATBREAD) AND THE "VERMONT PHOTO SHOW" IS
IN THE HISTORIC ROUND BARN AT THE ROUND BARN INN.

Many of the inns in the area are giving discounts for visitors to the Festival, if you are interested in staying over. If you go to this site, you can get more information:

This event is part of the Vermont Festival of the Arts, and as such, it will likely to generate much interest in our Society and our work. A special thanks to Gary Eckhart for making all this happen for us.

If you have any questions or concerns about this show, please contact me

Just a reminder: We expect VWS members to be polite and appreciative to Gallery owners. Complaints, if any, are handled within the Society.

See you on Aug. 11 !

VWS president 2006-2007
