Minutes of brief BVAA business meeting prior to holiday party December 15, 2015

Bylaws
• Pam Siderewicz explained that the Board is in the process of updating the BVAA bylaws.
Examples of changes:
Frequency of meetings from once every other month to every month
Membership open to everyone rather than just those in the Blackstone Valley
Changing from “he” to more gender-neutral references
Deleting outdated standing committees
• The motion was made and seconded to approve the Board’s changes to the bylaws. The vote was unanimous.

New members were announced and welcomed
• A new membership list is being compiled.

Shows
• Lisa is doing the publicity for the January show at Alternatives.
• 4 pieces were sold at the Alternatives show. We hope to be included next year as well.
• 3 pieces were sold at the Holiday Pops Concert. Teaming with the Claflin Hill Symphony Orchestra is a good match for BVAA.
• A venue is needed for the Spring show.

Holiday party and gift swap
A good time was had by all!

Shadow and Light Photography

Blackstone Valley Art Association Leave a comment

The Darkroom Gallery in Essex Junction, Vermont has a call to artists out for their upcoming show “Shadow and Light.” This is a photography show.

Submissions must be made by December 30, 2015. The submission fee is $24 for up to four images.

The Darkroom Gallery keeps a substantial library online for past shows so you can look through and see the types of images they tend to accept. Also, when you enter, once the judging is done you have the option to see (and to share) most photos that were submitted, to learn more about what tends to get submitted and what gets accepted out of that. It’s a great experience!
