is January 25, 1 - 3 pm, Golden Library, 1019 10th Street, Golden.
Bring a book that inspires you as an artist, a light snack to share, and your ideas. We are planning our RMSBA year. Please find your fellow artists more compelling -- and more fun -- than the Stock Show this afternoon.
If you have information to post to this Blog, please send it to the Blogster at the salt mine here.
From Our President
Happy New Year
to all!
Re-energize – to give energy to;
rouse to activity…
First I
want to say how much I appreciate the opportunity to serve as your new
President. I know I have big shoes to fill but I am up for the
challenge. The new Board had its first meeting early January… hold onto
your hats because they are energized and full of great ideas for this coming
year. Coming off of the annual ASBA conference we hope to ignite a new
sense of purpose and excitement for our organization.
Amend – To change for the better;
improve…
Our
January 25th meeting will be an important and informative one to attend. We
have a number of agenda items that we want to present to members. Among
the topics for serious discussion and ultimately a vote will be to amend our
Mission statement and By-Laws. We are proposing to change our mission
statement, goals and objectives to better reflect and serve its
members…you.
E-mailed to you for review, the current Mission Statement and By-Laws, and proposed
changes also can be downloaded from the Documents section of the Blog. We will have a discussion and decide by vote for an amendment to
these documents.
Below is
a brief summary of some of the other agenda topics.

Open Studio
at Valkarie Gallery, 445 S Saulsbury St, Lakewood; Second Tuesdays
We had our first Open Studio on Jan 13, and had a grand time. Usefully spent, too. We raised clouds of graphite and colored pencil dust, and sprinkled a bit of watercolor. We sought and gave advice. We also got to see the pieces (some actually of pieces, as below; very imaginative artist!) on display at the gallery. I don't know what
We'll gather again on February 10. Come join us!
