MUSEUM ARTISTS

The Museum Artists comprise a membership category of The Art Museum of Eastern Idaho that as a group is dedicated to providing a positive and enriching venue for the community of artists at all stages in their personal development and energetically contributing to the achievement of the cultural and educational missions of the Museum. We exist to provide financial, in-kind and volunteer support to the Art Museum, a gathering place and educational opportunities for artists, encouragement to artists to exhibit their work, and a place of welcome, friendship and support for all members.

ACTIVITIES AT THE MUSEUM

FIGURE SESSIONS ON MONDAY
The Museum is having a model twice a month from 5 – 8 pm for Museum Artists. The September figure session will be on the 20th (the session on the 6th has been cancelled). The October sessions are the 4th and the 18th. The November sessions are the 8th and the 22nd. The December sessions are the 6th and the 20th. The cost is $10. Come on down, enjoy the company and the improvements that will develop in your “eye” and “hand.” You can draw, paint or sculpt. It’s a great opportunity!

MUSEUM ARTIST SOCIAL IN SEPTEMBER
Museum Artists will be having a potluck social at the Museum on Wednesday, September 15th at 5 pm. Bring your significant other and a dish to share! Visit with fellow artists and renew friendships! Please come. We would love to see you!

PICK UP YOUR ART
We had two items that were not picked up after The Artist as Subject: Reluctant Self-Portraits exhibit ended last week. You (who know who you are) please contact Elizabeth and arrange a time to visit her and pick up your items as soon as you can. Thank you!

SUPPORT THE MUSEUM BY PARTICIPATING IN FIRST THURSDAYS
The Museum and the Museum Artists have a reciprocal interest in that the Museum shows Museum Artist art work and Museum Artists help support the Museum by volunteering their time. Be sure to show your support for the Museum by plein air painting during the next Gallery Walk on October 7th.

INFORMATIONAL EMAILS
Kathy is sending out reminders and information periodically by email. If you have not been getting these, it may be because she does not have your current email address. You can check with her by emailing her at whitakkb@cableone.net. Another possibility is that your spam blocker is rejecting the mass mailing that she does. You can avoid this problem by adding her email address to your address book.

NOTE ABOUT SHOW DELIVERY AND PICKUP TIMES
The Museum is trying to find more convenient times for artists delivering their work. If you have comments on delivery or pickup times that might be more convenient, please bring them to the next meeting or send Elizabeth an email.

Additionally, after the last show there were several items that were not picked up timely. If you cannot pick up your item, please call a friend and have them pick it up for you as the Museum simply does not have room to store things and it takes staff time to deal with people looking for pieces afterwards. Items not picked up timely will be taken elsewhere and it will be up to the artist to locate and retrieve it. Don’t let this happen to you!
