Art off the Green?

In years past, the next event that WACA would hold would be Art on the Green. The date of this event always coincides with the Golden Ball Tavern's annual antique sale (the last Saturday in September). After years of declining participation and concerns about weather, Art on the Green was scaled back and the primary focus of the event became an art tent for young ones. This worked fairly well, but uncertain weather and staffing difficulties have continued to be problematic for us.

During this year's Spring Award Show, there were discussions about holding Art on the Green in the Barn. We were thinking that it might be a three or four day show held during the weekend of the Golden Ball Tavern event. Like our Spring and Holiday shows, artwork would be displayed in the Barn and participants would be assigned workshifts. The primary focus of the show might be on demonstration. Artists would be assigned times and would then set up an easel, table with clay, sewing machine, etc. and show off their tricks and talents.

As we are in the early stages of exploring this idea, we'd love to hear your thoughts!

Have a great summer!

Spring Show Report

We are happy to report that the 2010 Spring Awards Show was a fantastic success! The barn was filled with beautiful and inspiring work of all sorts. We had very good traffic throughout most of the show and sales this year were excellent.

The show went so well that there was a good deal of talk about extinding it until Sunday next year. We certainly had enough participants to cover the extra workshifts that would be needed. As always your feedback is appriciated.

Thanks to all who helped to make the show such a success! For artists new to WACA who might be interested in participating next year, please visit our Spring Show links and see what it's all about:
