ACA Demonstration

Geneal Meeting and Demonstrations
THERE WILL BE NO GENERAL MEETINGS OR DEMONSTRATIONS FOR THE MONTHS OF JULY AND AUGUST
50 Clovis Ave, Clovis, CA93612

NEWS FLASH!  Decision made...

Nine board members met at Chris Sorenson's Art Studio this morning to assess the space that is being offered to ACA. We then met at my (Trudy's) house. Having a quorum present we held an emergency board meeting. It was moved and seconded and thoroughly discussed, to accept the offer from Sorenson's. ACA will now have a Permanent Gallery at the Sorenson's art studio! (See picture attached). We made the decision now because there are 20 artists on a waiting list for a space at Sorensons... Kirby gave us preferential treatment!  We will take over the space on July 1st. The first art hop will be on July 11, and it will be for directors and board members only. We will receive art from the directors and board on July 2, Tuesday morning, at 10-11AM. This gives us a chance to set up our space and have it up for art hop! 
We are all very excited about this and hope that you will come down to our "blue door space"  and help us establish our new Gallery and ACA presence in the art community.

Expect more information about the Gallery in the future!

President's Message for June

Wasn't Kathleen Mattox a wonderful demonstrator! She got us all involved in making a collective piece of art. Kathleen is such an inspiration. You should check out her wonderful art studio and gallery "Mixed Messages" in Sanger. I can guarantee you will enjoy the trip!

 

I hope you are all planning on attending the June 8th general meeting and Pastel Demonstration by Dotty Hawthorne. She is coming to us from San Luis Obispo and giving us the opportunity to take her WORKSHOP THAT FOLLOWS THE MEETING on Saturday and Sunday. I hope you signed up! I know it will be wonderful. I'll be there!

 

It's hard to believe that it's already June and summer is upon us. (Wasn't it just New Year's?)
On Saturday, June 22, ACA will be participating in the Fresno Arts Council "Arts Alive!" Art Festival and Run in Downtown Fresno... And we need your help! This event is designed to raise awareness about the arts and the important role they play in the economic stability of Fresno County. It is a great opportunity to promote ACA and allow us to showcase our artists and activities. ACA will have a booth on the Fresno Mall. But, like I said, we need your help! We need volunteers that will help during the event from 10am to 3pm, even just for an hour or so. It's a great way to promote ACA, have a great time and support FAC too. It provides an opportunity for the community to celebrate the arts through a bevy of performances, art displays, activities, and wine and food booths. Please sign up at the June meeting or email us at allianceofcaliforniaartist.com, and let us know you want to help us and take the opportunity to promote your own art too. It's a Win-Win for everyone!

 

ACA does NOT have general meetings during July and August, but the board will still be busy...

 

We in ACA, have a dilemma on our hands. We are in dire need of your help if ACA is to continue next year. We are in great financial shape, but due to personal/family needs or illness we have several vacancies on our board at this time. This makes it very difficult for those of us who are left to carry on. These are the positions and committees that have been vacated:

  1. Director of Exhibits

  2. Show Coordinator

  3. Demonstration Chairman

  4. Gallery Chairman

  5. Fund Raiser.

  If you have ever thought about doing more for ACA than coming to the meetings, now is the time to come forward. We can use your HELP NOW! We will be looking for good people to help ACA carry-on in 2014 as well. Please contact us and let us know you want to help. You can call 877-384-7852 to talk to one of us or email, allianceofcaliforniaartists.com. It would be a shame if ACA, and all it does, just went away...

 

To end on a positive note, there are a lot of things coming up to be painting for during this summer. We have our September Art Hop, and don't forget The Big Fresno Fair, and the Madera Arts Council Ag show in October. Look for notices and newsletters over the summer and... Paint -Paint-Paint!
