February
membership meeting. Our first meeting of 2016 is February 28, 1 – 3 pm, at
Koelbel Library, 5955 S.
Holly St., Centennial, CO. For 2017, RMSBA is hosting a national juried art
exhibit to examine the great variation in the Cannabis plant genus, and the initial presentations about this
plant genus will accompany other business at the meeting.
Some members
of the RMSBA Board participated in initial sketching sessions during January. We
found the plants – even as greenhouse infants – to display several traits allowing
varieties to be distinguished. Wide color and shape variations can be expected
among varieties and strains.
Exhibit Plans. Our next exhibit – “Cannabis: A Visual Perspective” -- will portray
cannabis botanicals used in medicinal, recreational, or hemp industry
applications. RMSBA takes no position on any state or federal policy, but does
wish to establish a useful visual record and perspective on the plant. We
encourage artists to seek out unique strains and depict whatever aspect of them
they find most engaging, educational and inspiring. This exhibit is open to all
botanical artists nationally and will be juried.
The Prospectus and the Open Call for Entry for “Cannabis: A Visual Perspective” is
posted
online at: https://www.onlinejuriedshows.com/Default.aspx?OJSID=7561. Check out
the details.
RARE II Opened in Pueblo. Artists’ Reception was Friday, February 5, 4:30 – 7 pm,
at the Sangre de Cristo Art Center, 210 N Santa Fe, Pueblo. We are in a
terrific venue very close to I25 exit 98B, excellent parking. Our exhibit is
interestingly hung, and guards the way to all the galleries, the elevator, the
stair, and the restrooms. Traffic was somewhat impaired by the many careful
readers of our descriptive labels. The Exhibit Notebook of Artists’ information
got the attention of a number of visitors, even among those not in line for the
refreshments. Herewith are some images of our opening.
