FROM THE PRESIDENT
1. Spring Show: The 2009 show attendance surpassed last year’s Spring Show by approximately 200 visitors. We believe unit sales of art work also surpassed last year, but dollar sales were down by about 30%. Auction sales in dollars were also down by about 30%.
Please pick up your work this Thursday or Friday 5-8 if possible. Registration/Installation starts on Sunday and we would like to get Site Prep done as soon as possible.
2. Summer Show: Art in Changing Perspectives: If you haven’t received your acceptance letter, contact bwacinfo@aol.com. You must confirm your participation by selecting a Registration/Installation time to bring in and hang your work. Please go to http://www.bwac.org/schedule/index.php, follow the directions to register and reserve a time slot. Once a time slot is filled, it is no longer displayed. If you reserved a time slot in the past, the system will have your information.
Since we have only three weekends between shows, we are planning on having a couple of week night Site Prep shifts on Thursday/Friday, June 18/19 from 5:00 to 8:00PM, the same time that we have week night Checkout for the Spring Show. You will receive a 50% bonus for working these shifts. If you are interested in working, you can just show up.
3. Development Group: Anyone interested in working on fundraising for their volunteer job, please contact bwacinfo@aol.com .
4. Summer Registration Shifts: We still very much need people to work some of the Summer Registration/Installation shifts. If you’re PC literate and available any of the dates (listed above in Important Dates) please contact bwacinfo@aol.com.
