Watercolor Society of Oregon Convention in Albany 5-7 April 2013 – Helpers Needed

There will be a Watercolor Society of Oregon convention on Friday to Sunday, April 5-7, 2013 (next year) in Albany and we will need a lot of helpers in order to make the convention a success.  People helping do not have to be watercolor artists and do not have to live in Albany.  It will just be a good way for all local artists in the Mid Valley to rally around a common goal–bring more attention to the visual arts that are available and maybe generate some new interest to people who never noticed the arts  around them.

People do not have to be in charge of any particular sub committee .  One specific need is ideas for centerpieces for the banquet tables.  If anyone knows how to make inexpensive but attractive arrangements, please let Stephanie know.  Also needed will be names of vendors to contact and businesses that can offer gift certificates and awards for the winning paintings.  As you can tell there are lots of ways people can  volunteer.  These conventions are lots of fun–a great place to meet very accomplished artists, learn new ideas and be around like minded people.

Anyone wanting to help or more specific information regarding the sub-committees  should contact Stephanie Low at stephanielow7@gmail.com

Thanking you in advance for any help you can offer to spread the word about the WSO Convention.

Howland Community Open Exhibition – Bring Art 1/21 12-4pm

What: Howland Community OPEN Exhibition, bring in art work day

Where: The Arts Center, 700 SW Madison Ave Corvallis 97333

When: January 21, noon – 4 PM ONLY

Why: Community shares and celebrates their artistic endeavors.

 

We invite all of Linn and Benton County to share your art with the community at The Arts Center!

The Howland Community OPEN Exhibition is an opportunity for all artistic talent living in Linn or Benton Counties to show their art! We love to see work of those who just started on the path of artistic discovery, AND of those who have been wandering there for a while!

We’ll have awards for young age groups of art supplies donated by the Drawing Board, professional and non-professional artists, a People’s Choice Award, a Curators Choice Award and the Pegasus Presentation Prize.

 

Here is how it works:

Bring in artwork for the Howland Community OPEN Exhibition on Saturday January 21, between noon and 4 PM only.

We accept one (1) original piece per person/artist; you need to fill in some paperwork (available on line or at the door). There is a size restriction of 72” for combined height and width for work on the wall and 35 lb. as a weight restriction. To be as fair as possible we do NOT accept any early or late submission. You can ask another person to bring your work.
