So go out east and see what Grandmother at perigee looks like coming up
over the horizon.
Reminder: Membership dues for 2018 must be submitted now. Please check the box

Open Studio at Carol
Till’s was instructive and fun. Your Editor learned all about mistakes and ways
to do it wrong(ly). Sorry you weren’t there with these ladies:
Next Open Studio will convene at the Denver Museum of Nature &
Science for some display sketching. Contact Vanessa Martin for details and to
participate. Bring a stool, a drawing board… and, of course, your own
personally preferred media and substrates.
ArtCozy assemblers
needed. Volunteer to help Judy Vanderbosch finish the RMSBA Art Cozies and you
will be rewarded [we are not one bit above bribery around here] with a FREE Art
Cozie!
Thursday February
1st from 9:30 am to 3 pm. Lunch and snacks
provided. You do not need to have any sewing experience to volunteer!
We need about 6
people to do:
- Stamping, cutting out and ironing RMSBA
labels.
- Cutting, plastic pockets (need to know how
to use a rotary cutter)
- Cutting fleece for bags with a rotary
cutter.
- Sewing on labels and plastic pocket.
I have 2 machines
that should be enough for this session but if you have one you would like to
bring that is good. Also rotary cutters would be good to bring. I have the
needed supplies for the rest. Any questions just call.
Please RSVP to Judy

RMSBA
Executive Board meeting on January 14 was attended by these officers
and members:
Eileen Richardson – President (new!)
Vanessa Martin – Interim Treasurer (new!)
Irma Sturgill - Exhibits co-chair
Shiere Melin - Exhibits co-chair
Kristi Czajkowski – Secretary
Martha Narey – Communications editor
Dorothy DePaulo – Logistics chair
Sharon Garret – RARE exhibit chair
Susan Fisher – Director emerita
Carol Till - member
Judy Vanderbosch – member
The Board extends great thanks to Ronda
Ballard for her service as Treasurer, 2015-2017.
Inasmuch as a few unclaimed originals are
still in exhibit chairs hands following the RARE shows (yes, even from RARE I),
and a number of prints and other materials, the Boards announces the
establishment of a left-work maximum
period of 30 days following the closing of an RMSBA show, juried or nonjuried.
Participants must retrieve, or make alternative arrangements with the Exhibit
Chair(s), all originals and unsold accompanying materials by 30 days after the
closing. Any unclaimed artworks will be offered for sale by RMSBA, and the
proceeds shall accrue to the RMSBA treasury. This proposed By-law change will
avoid burdening any member serving as exhibit chair.
