VWS Newsletter 1-7-08 Call for Entries-post card


Warm Greetings, VWS Members….

It was in the 50s at my house today. Hot stuff!

We have some hot information now too, on the AVA Gallery show.

POST CARD: This part of the show will be juried. SIGNATURE MEMBERS only:

Send one image , 300 DPI, approx. 4” x5” or 5” x 6” on a CD to:

Lebanon, N.H. 03766

Ph. (603) 448-1119

OR , you can email your image to her at this address:

behome@verizon.net

She has high-speed internet. If you are on dial-up it would probably be better to send a CD

DEADLINE for Postcard entries: January 14. That means if you are mailing something, it needs to be in her hands by Jan. 14, and emails should be sent by 5 PM.

INCLUDE this information on your CD or email:

Title of your painting, size, price, date created and your name. If you are emailing the image, put in the subject line: VERMONT WATERCOLOR SOCIETY.

For the show itself, here are the details:

Since this is a special show featuring our signature members, here is a list of who is a current signature member. However, there are 12 of you who have not yet paid your dues, and you will NOT be eligible to participate in this show if you are not paid up by FEBRUARY 7. If you want to submit a postcard entry you need to send you dues in the next 2 days.

If any signature members have NOT paid their dues, you will get an email from me shortly. Please don’t write to me and ask-If you are not paid up I will let you know. I only have information as of today’s mail, so if you just sent your dues, Everett will let me know right away. DON”T send dues to me, please.

As always, you can find this and earlier newsletters on OUR web site:

I look forward to seeing you all at these shows, and perhaps meeting some of our new members. Please DO come to the openings, even if you are not in the show. It is a great opportunity to see our own work, meet and greet each other, and support the galleries and members who have worked so hard to make these events happen.
A special thanks to members Diane Liggett for securing and coordinating the Claremont show, and Sheryl Trainor for securing and coordinating the AVA show. And of course, Rob O’Brien, our Exhibition Director is always working behind the scenes, making sure everything is working smoothly as well as helping with hanging shows, and contributing time and energy to receptions, and getting postcards printed and mailed. Thanks too, to those of you who have been assisting him- I am sorry I don’t have names at this moment.

One final thought: I know some of you are not getting these emails. The feedback is inconsistent, so I never quite know what mail is going to “bounce”. Unfortunately, I have no control over how your computer processes your mail, but I would suggest checking your spam filters for messages, and enabling my mailing address if necessary. Meanwhile, keep checking our website to be sure you didn’t miss anything, and I will try to notify those of you whose mail consistently bounces.
