MEET SOME OF OUR MEMBER ARTISTS!
Re-imagining the ASMC for the remainder of 2020
Dear Members of the ASMC,
We hope you are all well and managing during this difficult time.
We want you to know that you are always in our thoughts and that your Board is actively engaged via ZOOM meetings (see photo below) to continue planning how we can provide value to our members without conducting traditional in-person activities and events.
With your health and safety in mind, the Board has decided that we will not schedule anything that requires an in-person presence for the foreseeable future. In the new year, we will see where we are and keep you informed about our schedule of art exhibits and meetings for 2021.
In the meantime, we:
- Continue with our Virtual Painting Parties via ZOOM on a monthly basis;
- Offer guest speakers and demonstrations of interest via ZOOM on a monthly basis;
- Offer Virtual Art Exhibits that take place online via our Website;
- Updated our ByLaws approved by you
- Have completed our Leadership transition based on the election;
- Share free online painting workshops and videos;
- Create new membership benefits;
- Enhance our publicity efforts; and
- Continue to train our members on how to access the technology we are using to stay connected.
If you have a computer, laptop, iPad, or smartphone as well as an email address, we know that we can connect you to our meetings/presentations with one-to-one guidance. Sue VanVolkenburgh, our Co-President, is our in-house expert and will guide you through the process by phone. Send us an email if you need assistance.
Our mission is to promote the arts and encourage creativity. We are an active group of painting artists and photographers, many with professional designations, who love learning, enjoy creating art, and pay it forward with scholarships for college art students.
During the pandemic, please join us online at our lively and informative meetings with lectures and demonstrations by professional artists.
As a member, you may participate virtually in any of up to four major Art Exhibitions in
November, January, March, and April. All exhibits are judged by professionals who award prizes and recognition ribbons. For sponsored exhibits, we provide monetary awards in five categories (three awards per category) to 15 artists.
For members who are professional artists with websites, we offer a free link on our
Artists and Supporter Links page
We also offer promotion of their shows to our email list.
Membership is $30/year for individuals; $40 for households.
Our year starts Sept. 1 and ends August 31. Join us!
Membership Information is available here
Check out our photos from recent receptions and demonstrations.
Thank you to Vince Matulewich for taking them!
