Members’ News

Jane Ann Lehr Warkentin sold a watercolor painting, “Brownsville 1885″ in July at the Corvallis Care Center. Jane Ann also had a painting “Roman Villa” selected into the Watercolor Society of Oregon’s Fall Show held in Prineville along with artwork by Kathryn Honey, Marjorie Kinch and Doyle Leek. Congratulations to all of you.

Norma Eaton reports that the Hanging Around Town site at the Country Club has requested that artists use the nails that are there or ask for assistance if you wish to move a nail/hanger at their site and to be sure that your art is at least 24″ x 30″ if you wish to use their site.

Norma is also in the process of preparing an anonymous sales survey for CAG sites that will be circulated in the near future. Currently, there are 11 hanging open spaces to fill for the fall. Check Hanging Around Town on this website.

Sue Habegger reports that after a visit to Grass Valley, CA in August, she bought a mobile home there and will be leaving on October 5. She will be having a moving sale at her place on September 28 & 29.

Anna Tewes reports that she sold 6 paintings at the Timberhill Athlectic Club this past month.

Ellen Borowski also sold a painting at Timberhill in August. Congratulations, ladies!

Paul Rickey is organizing a fund raiser for the Disabled American Veterans. The auction fund raiser will be held at the VFW Hall in Albany on the weekend of November 16-18. Paul says that a few Art Guild members have already donated paintings. Paul hopes that additional members are willing to donate paintings and hopes they will bring them to the October 1 meeting. He will be sure to deliver them in his van to the VFW Hall. Paul also expresses a sincere Thank You to all of you that have donated to assist with providing for local Veteran’s needs.

Hanging Around Town

Exhibiting members may request locations to exhibit using the online Request form.

The Guild sponsors several sites around Corvallis where members may exhibit and offer their work for sale. Members who sign-up to do this must exhibit only original two-dimensional work, not reproductions, and are obligated to follow the rules listed below. Signing up to exhibit is under the direction of the Exhibit Chairperson and is done at the regular meetings.

Art by Pam Van Londen hanging at the Benton Hospice in 2007.1. In order to participate in “Hanging About Town”, one must be an Exhibiting Member of the Guild in good standing.

2. To become an Exhibiting Member, one must have submitted three examples of their artwork and been juried in by the Jury Board.

3. Works of the artist must be original (self suggested). No paintings of other copyrighted artworks, or photographs, work done in class with the aid of an instructor, nor works that could infringe upon any copyright law, shall be exhibited or sold.

4. A list of the works with prices and contact information should be provided to the business where one is exhibiting, with a copy kept for one’s own records. Each exhibited piece shall have on it, an Art Guild card with the artist’s name, price, if offered for sale, and phone number of the artist.

5. Exhibited work must not include nudes, political statements or any offensive subject matter. In the event a complaint arises from a business concerning any artwork on display at a Guild sponsored site, the Exhibit Chairperson has the authority to request those pieces be removed and replaced.

6. The Exhibit Chairperson shall provide the local newspaper(s) with artist’s names and locations of “Hanging about Town” exhibits.

7. Artists not able to meet their show schedule because of an emergency must notify the Exhibit Chairperson as soon as possible so that the Exhibit Chairperson can find another exhibitor. Should any artists fail to keep their commitment without good cause, their exhibiting privileges may be cancelled for a period up to one year, at the discretion of the Executive Board.
