At
our March 19th meeting, we divided into small
groups to work in depth on our Artist Statements. This was our third session
working on Statements, and it’s been a useful exercise – one we will probably
revisit at intervals, since it has become clear that this is a tool we need to think
about and update regularly.
Terry Grant, Sherri Culver and Sidnee Snell will share information on the social media we will be using in future to communicate within the Portland group and within SAQA Oregon, and will show us how to use the various sites. There will be plenty of time for questions! This will also be the first of three meetings where each of us will have a chance to talk about our journeys as artists, reflecting on how our art has changed and developed over time, where we have found inspiration, where we are today, and where we hope to go in the future. We’ll bring an early piece of our art, and a recent piece.
At our April meeting, the following members will tell us about their artistic journeys (you will have about five minutes each): Para Winingham, Pam Pilcher, Mary Arnold, Sherri Culver, Gerrie Congdon, Jill Hoddick, Bonnie Bucknam, Marie Murphy Wolfe, and Elizabeth Bamberger.
We also discussed the challenging question of how
best to communicate, both within our group and with the other parlor groups and
all SAQA members throughout Oregon. Email? Yahoo? Facebook? Blogspot? What is
the best way to provide information on upcoming meetings and other events? Keep
our files? Share news and inspiration with each other? Not easy to streamline
all this, but we are working on it!
Our
April meeting will be held on Wednesday April 16th
from 10am to midday, at the Beaverton Public Library: 12375 SW 5th
St, Beaverton, OR 97005 (between SW Hall Blvd and SW Tucker Ave). Please join us. If you are not a member
of our group but happen to be in the area, or are thinking of joining the group,
you are very welcome to come to this meeting, or to any future meetings.Terry Grant, Sherri Culver and Sidnee Snell will share information on the social media we will be using in future to communicate within the Portland group and within SAQA Oregon, and will show us how to use the various sites.
