Meet the Artist Show Deadline
Hi,
Monday February 16th is the last day to sign up for the Meet the Artist Show, so if you’re interested and have not contacted me or Deborah at the Studio, please do so ASAP. We will not take
Any sign ups after Monday. We have 31 artists signed up so far for the show, which is great and 53 miniatures which is absolutely fantastic. If you are going to contribute a miniature, please contact
Me with the size, so I can allow the room. I’ve attached the flier that Erin Holbrook made for us, so if you can please print it and distribute them to you friends, family, etc. I also left some at the
Studio if you do not have a printed. It is very important to get the fliers to as many people as possible, so we’ll have a great turnout. Also, be sure to push the miniature show, because our guild
Members have been very generous with their donations and I’d like to see all the work in the drawing. If you don’t know how the miniature show works, each piece of art has the name of the artist
And a number, so when someone buys a ticket, it goes in that artwork’s slot for a drawing. If it doesn’t get any tickets, the art will be put aside to sell at the Studio as a continued fundraiser.
Richard Pedrelli photographed some of the miniatures, so have a separate flier for that show. Contact me if you want me to email it to you, since it’s a longer file and I don’t want to send it out
In a mass email. We couldn’t get all the miniatures on the flier, but we got a nice variety. I’m also going to put it in the paper next week along with an article about the show and run another
Article the following week about the Meet the Artist show. One article ran on Thursday and it’s in the community calendar here and in other counties. I’m sending out over 50 fliers to people
That I know and ones that signed our guest book, plus I sent them to our sponsors, the Currahee Club and other businesses. So, I’m doing my part, now it’s your turn.
Sandra Smith is in charge of the refreshments, so she could use some help keeping it refreshed during the Friday night reception and Saturday. Please let me know if you can help. We will also
Need some help selling the tickets for the miniature show. Reece, my son, has volunteered to play his guitar on Friday night, so tips are appreciated since we don’t pay him to play and he’s a
College boy, so he’s always broke.
If you’re not going to participate in the show, please stop by and support the guild. You could also buy tickets for the fundraiser, especially since the work is exceptional and I can’t imagine not
Wanting to win any of the art that’s available. I know that it’s going to cost me a small fortune, because I plan on buying a lot of tickets and so does my family.
Talk to you soon,
Gail Watson, president

Meet the Artist Show
Our Meet the Artist show will be held on Friday, Feb. 27 from 6-8 p.m. and Sat. Feb. 28 from 10-5 in the Studio and its open to all current Currahee Artist’ guild members.
The deadline to sign up for the show is Feb. 19 and there is no admission fee, we just ask for a minimum $10 fee for refreshments. If you are new to the guild, it’s just what it titled, a time for the public to meet the artists, view and discuss their work (hopefully purchase their work) and a great time to meet other members in the guild. So therefore, you have to be available at least one day of the show, preferably both days, hence meet the artist. We normally have space for 6 to 8 pieces of work, depending on the size, tables for info on the artists, note cards, smaller art, etc.,
Panels for smaller paintings and print racks. I’ll know exactly how much space we’ll have after I receive all the entries, so therefore it’s important to let me know by the deadline. You can contact me by email or phone 706-886-3728 (please leave a message, if I don’t answer) There is no timeline on your art pieces, so you can show older work during this show and there is no competition, so it’s a very relaxing show. We will hang the show on Wed. Feb 25 from 1-5 and Feb. 26 from 1-5, but if that’s not convenient, you can drop your work off earlier and we’ll hang it for you.
We’ve added a miniature show (our fundraiser) to the Meet the Artists’ show. We’re asking for donations of miniature paintings and photos (no larger than 11 by 14), pottery, jewelry, fiber art, etc.
We’d like to have them by Feb. 8th if possible. Of course we’ll take donations through Feb. 26, but earlier ones can be photographed and put in the paper, on our website and in brochures to hand out. You can deliver your donations to the Studio and we’re going to hang them on the wall next to Dudley’s window, so they can be viewed from outside. We will have the drawing for he miniatures on Sat. Feb 28 from 4-5 p.m. during the show. Tickets will be sold prior and during the show for $5 each or 6 for $25. The Heritage in Tallulah had this fundraiser for at least three years and I always contributed to it, purchased tickets to try to win and really enjoyed the show. The Heritage didn’t have the miniature show this year, so I thought that we’d give it a try. Please be generous with your donations and invite all your friends, family and relatives to the show. It wouldn’t hurt to have other miniatures for sell during the show, because if people don’t win your miniature, they might be willing to purchase it. I’ve had that happen on numerous occasions.
Maryann Ansley is in charge of the arts tour for Stephens County and she will be sending out forms for the tour today. If your do not receive info from her, let me know and I’ll send her your info.
If you have any questions about Meet the Artist or the miniature show, please contact me or Deborah Hartley (706-886-6138).

Painting Classes
Each month I host a painting class at my home in Toccoa. The teacher is Pat Appling, who is a Bob Ross certified teacher. However, we do not paint only Bob Ross pictures. Main interest so far is dedicated to floral paintings. The painting is done on a 16 x 20 canvas and is painted in oils. It is a one day class and you take a completed painting home the same day.
The class size is limited to 10. Cost is $55.00 per person which includes the canvas, paints, use of Pat's brushes and supplies. Coffee and pastry in the morning, plus lunch is provided by me. I make no money from this, it costs me money, but I am dedicated to advancing the arts in Toccoa.
Our next clas is September 10th, at which time we will be painting yellow roses in an oval. Our October class is scheduled for October 1st and we will be painting fall mums. November 5th will be poinsettias, and December 10th will be Amaryllis.
Classes begin at 10 am and run to approximately 3 pm (or whenever your painting is finished). We will be expressing our choices for next years projects, including bringing in a California seascape artist by the name of Joyce Ortner. I am trying to contact other artists also.
If you have any interest in joining our group, we would love to have you. Please call me at 706-827-0031 or email mpansley@windstream.com . A second contact is Barbara Lolley at 706-779-7365 and her email is ollie2@alltel.net.

From 10-5 with a mini free workshop from 1-4 (I’ll supply the paper, participates bring their own art supplies, fresh paint is best), Lesley Smith will demonstrate on Sat., June 28th from 10-5, so please
Come by and support the guild artists.
The Studio will be open both weekends from 10-5 Friday and Sat. and 1-5 on Sunday. Deborah could use some help during the tour. We have 2 people signed up for Sat the 28th, but we need extra help on the other days. Please contact Deborah at 706-886-6138, if you can help during the tour.
Please let me know if you want to participate.
Thanks,
Gail Watson
