Greetings!
Just a note to inform you there will be a meeting of the Manassas Art
Guild Board on Sunday, March 28, at 2 p.m. We meet at the Panera’s at
9508 Liberia Avenue (across the street from the Liberia Walmart).

All members are welcome to attend. Below is the preliminary agenda. If
you plan to attend and have an item you’d like to add to the agenda,
please contact me, 703-791-5767, myarcadia@juno.com.

Agenda
2:00: Present minutes & treasurer’s report for approval
2:05: Old business
-Status of grants
-Status of website
2:15: Committee reports
-Shows
-Workshops
-PR
-Arts Council liason
2:30: New business
-Setting goals. I would like MAG to begin the process of setting
both short range (6 month & 1 year) goals, and longer range goals (2, 5
and 10 years). By the end of the meeting I would like to have at least
one specific 6 month goal. At the April meeting I hope we will establish
1 year goals.
I would like to go around the room and ask each person: what is
one thing you would like to see MAG improve on, start doing, or stop
doing, and how would we make it happen? Consider who will implement
changes; timing; and funding issues. Be realistic; the pool of volunteers
is small and their time is limited.
3:00 Meeting ends, unless the majority agrees to continue.

Hope, not snow.

Doing a head count … how many MAG members are planning to participate
in one or more of our exhibits this year? I don’t need committments at
this point, just trying to get a feel for how much interest there is in
exhibits, or if the focus should be elsewhere this year.
Thanks!

Hi all,
One of our members just raised a good point about our eARTh festival.

She was asking about exhibiting packs of notecards, rather than single
notecards. For a variety of reasons, we would like single notecards only
to be displayed as part of the MAG exhibit. What I suggest is that those
who would like to exhibit packs of cards, or would like to exhibit more
than the 10 cards allowed, consider renting a solo space. The same would
be true if you want to exhibit a larger number of shrinkwrap than allowed
by the show guidelines.

You don’t have to have professional display stands! A neatly covered and
arranged table will do, and we might even be able to help you get a table
if you don’t already have one. Buy a few mini easels at the dollar store,
and voila! you have an exhibit.

If you also have framed works, we might be able to make arrangements for
you to have a few pieces on the MAG stands. Our goal is to make it
possible for as many artists to exhibit as feasible, given our limited
resources — so please don’t hesitate to ask if your situation doesn’t
seem to fit neatly into the entry guidelines. We’ll see what we can work
out.

By the way, this only applies to members, non-members are on their own!
See, that MAG membership is worth something after all!

Hope to see you all there,

mich
