Committee Reports

Fall Art Show: Judy Van Caster –  Kate Mace gave the report, we had 72 artists participate with 115 pieces displayed.  There were 52 volunteers from the art club to help make this show run smoothly; There were 17 pieces of art work that needed adaptation to be hung.  Please ask or look up guidelines for hanging art work. We had approximately 1.037 guests attend our show.  The majority indicated they found out from postcards in lower mailboxes. A suggestion to help cut back on cost is to possibly use a lower grade paper for postcards.  Judy thanked Kate for stepping up while she was ill.

Education: Terry Broere – There are art classes available from January 2023 until the 1st week of April 2023. There have been some issues with no shows at classes, the education committee will bring recommendations on the possibility of a cancellation policy.  Linda Grady has offered to volunteer to manage the running of a kids program.  Terry will ask any of the teachers if they are interested in teaching.
