Currahee Artists’ Guild 2009
More Artists, More Art!
With more than 50 members, the Currahee Artists’ Guild enters 2009 with a schedule of exciting shows. To launch the New Year’s activities, the annual Meet the Artist Show & Sale will be held on Friday February 27th from 6:00 until 8:00 pm and Saturday, February 28th from 10:00 am until 5:00 pm at The Studio in Historic Downtown Toccoa. Over 30 Artists and artisans will be available to show their work and meet the community. A variety of media including oil, acrylic, watercolor, jewelry, pottery, pastel, mixed media, photography, drawing and more will be available for every artistic preference. All art on display will be available for sale both days.
This show is being expanded to include a “Miniature Show.” All member artists and artisans have been invited to create a miniature masterpiece (no larger than 11” x 14”) and donate it to the Currahee Artists’ Guild for a fundraising event in conjunction with the Meet the Artist Show & Sale. Over 50 pieces of artwork are available for your review and tickets (6 for $25.00 or $5.00 each) are available for purchase prior and during both days of the show. The show will conclude with a drawing at 4:00 pm on Saturday, February 28th, for the winner of each of the miniatures. Purchasers do not have to be present to win.
The Meet the Artist Show & Sale is a tradition that provides a great opportunity for artists and the community to spend time together in a relaxed setting in the spacious, historic Studio. The opening reception on Friday evening and the show on Saturday will include refreshments and live music.

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
