"Anything Old" Photo Show

Good Morning Photographers!

Each of you has entered photographs in previous WOWSPACE shows. Wanted to let you know of our upcoming "Anything Old" show and hope that you will consider entering.

Curt Knoke will be the juror/judge. The opening show is during the Wittenberg Days weekend which always brings a good crowd to Wittenberg.

If the stars are properly aligned, this show will also be paired with a video art show if we get the grants we are applying for.

Please feel free to share this information with all of your friends and colleagues who share your passion for photography.

See the web site for information about Curt and two great photos by Mary Burt and Bette Ebel.

Wausau Workshop?


Hi Sharon,

I want to officially inform you that I am trying to arrange some workshops in the Wausau area.  I recently held two one-day workshops in Woodruff that were quite successful (according to my students).  Three artists from the Wausau area (Sharon Feathers, Cindy Markowski and Carol Hettinga) attended and we discussed what would have to happen to allow me to come down there—and it’s very do-able.  Please alert your membership that this is in the works and I hope will happen sooner than later.  Audry Wilde of WVAA has also been informed (per Sharon Feather’s suggestion) and hopefully between the two organizations we can make this happen.  Here’s what I sent Audry:

I would need 8-12 students and a location that has:
  • Good light
  • Restrooms
  • Good parking
  • No stairs would be nice
  • A kitchen would also be a plus

Here’s a list of potential workshop offerings:
  • Digital Photography
  • Preparing Digital Photos of your work for shows
  • Composition
  • Values
  • Shape Making
  • Edges
  • Color
  • Color Mixing
  • Portrait Drawing
  • Portrait Painting
  • Plein Air Painting
  • Drawing I
  • Drawing II
  • Oil Painting I
  • Oil Painting II
  • Landscape Painting
  • Let Fix One You’re Stuck On 

What do you think?

Regards,
David

Garden Artist Volunteers


TO: All Local Fine Artists, WVAA and WVAG
FROM: North Central Master Gardener Volunteers, Inc
RE: 2012 Garden Walk
™@
We would like to extend an invitation to any fine artist that would be interested in being part of our Garden Walk this year. We have 5 gardens on the North end of Wausau. Our public garden featured this year will be the Hospice House.
We would like to have an artist in each garden perhaps painting a flower or scene from that garden. If you would like, you may also bring completed work that you have for sale. Theda Hewuse and Cindy Markowski were featured in two of our gardens last year, as a trial. You may speak with them if you have questions.
If you are interested please let me know ASAP. I will schedule on a first come, first serve basis. The dates and times are as follows: Friday, July 13th 1pm to 7pm and Saturday, July 14th 9am-3pm. We split our workers up into 3 hour shifts and you may want to do the same.
I apologize for the late notice. We would like to have this set before February 27th. We have to get our information to the printers and if this will work with the artists then we would like to promote you along with our own event.
Please contact me with any questions or to sign up:
