Monday, October 1
Corvallis Public Library Meeting Room
7 pm Artist’s Social
7:30 pm General Meeting
Creative Consensus
Carolyn Madsen says “We’re expecting synergy to happen Monday when we put our heads together to discuss the CAG Clothesline Sale and new possibilities for outreach.â€
Our new co-presidents, Brandi and Carolyn, plan to implement an Artist’s Corner during our social half hour prior to the general meeting in the near future. Each meeting month an artist will explain a special technique and/or show a work in progress to those interested and discuss the work and answer questions. Those who are interested in participating in this should let them know.
This month, following the business agenda where Molly Perry will present an analysis of the 2007 sale and current feed-back from participants and after a short explanatory presentation, we will break into groups and do some serious evaluation and planning around three or four proposed activities for the year.
Please come and join with others in a small group of your choice to consider the possibilities for the Clothesline Sale of Art, a fund raising event, a just-for-fun December CAG social, mentoring youth in the fine arts or linking the visual arts with business/civic organizations/entities to encourage an appreciation for and involvement with art in our communities and area schools.

Professional artist and fellow CAG member Debby Sundbaum-Sommers was chosen by the Corvallis Fall Festival committee to create the image for this year’s event poster. An artist’s reception was held on Saturday, September 22 at Art In the Valley. If you missed seeing her artwork, Debby is included in the artist studio tour in Philomath this month. Despite Debby’s lovely depiction of a fall rain on the Willamette River and predictions of rain for the Fall Festival celebration this past month, the end of summer sun succeeded to shine through.
And, according to event chair, Brandi Dayton, so did the sales for the artist participants of the Art Guild Booth with sales exceeding $2000. Brandi would like to thank all the participants for the success of a great looking booth and for all the volunteer labor by Linda Peachey, Jack Hartman, Carolyn Madsen, Jake Dorr, Dee Yarnell, Norma Eaton, Pam Van Londen, Katherine Friday, Cherrill Boissonou and Barbara Story.
The booth held a wide double space this year with our new display boards attracting a lot of attention with the passing crowd. Brandi says that perhaps we should do the same with our booth at the Fall Festival, next year.
A special thank you, Brandi, for all your hard work in putting this all successfully together for us.

One of the common themes in many of the surveys completed recently was that CAG members hope we will find ways to do more outreach. We take that to mean that many of you recognize how fortunate we are to be creative people in the visual arts and that you wish to have some options for giving back to our communities. It’s great to hear of your eagerness to put ART out there in our communities, wanting to share your skills, energy and enthusiasm for the creative life.
As co-presidents, we want to make sure that each of you finds your particular niche in our Guild. We feel certain that the CAG will be implementing some outreach program(s) this year which will satisfy the desire that many have to help others enjoy the arts.
With that in mind, we are putting a lot of effort into making it easier for volunteers to know what to expect when they take on a job. We are developing job descriptions for the Board and several committee positions presently. During the Social Half-Hour at each meeting, you will find sign-up forms where you can decide whether this particular job (which we hope to have described) is where the rubber meets the road for YOU. Your involvement is so essential to the vitality of this Guild. We enjoy working with each of you as you help the Guild flourish.
We hope to see you on Monday, Oct.1, at the Library!
Brandi Dayton and Carolyn Madsen, co-presidents

Dues for CAG membership are past due. As of the September Board meeting, over 50 members had not yet paid.
All members who have an ‘07 date on your mail label will receive a renewal form in October newsletter. The cut-off date is November 1. Printing and mailing costs were up this past year due to the increase in postage rates and in part due to sending newsletters for months to non-renewing members.
For ‘07 members, please pay your $15 this month if you wish to continue.
