FROM THE PRESIDENT... 

I feel like I've said a lot about the weather this year, but hopefully the weather service is wrong when they predict a colder and wetter than normal rest of spring - please send out warmth and sunshine energy!

Board nominations have been submitted and a ballot will be sent to members in good standing soon.  Please remember to cast your vote!  We are so encouraged by those who have volunteered to serve NWSID.  We've expanded the positions and it's exciting to anticipate the different creative perspectives from our new members on the future direction of the organization.   Thank you in advance for all who have agreed to serve NWSID and a huge embrace of gratitude for those who are currently on the board - you are fabulous!

 

Membership renewal time is just around the corner and we have tons of exciting develpoments in store. Remember that NWSID is devoted to furthering the prosperity of our members and the larger we grow, the more benefits we will be able to provide all our members.  When able, always try to work with a member for your project.  The May meeting (see above) will be a "freebie" (no charge) for members, so this is a great opportunity to bring a guest who may have considered joining - a win/win for everyone!

 

As always, if you have news to share, please call or email the office and Darline will see that it's forwarded to the appropriate person:  206-763-8799 or nwsid@nwsid.net

Jann Placentia ,

Welcome New Members!



NWSID Member Notes: 

On April 27th, members of NWSID attended the Bellevue College Foundation luncheon at Meydenbauer center.  The keynote address and performance was by Peter Buffett , (son of legendary Warren Buffett), an award-winning composer, philanthropist, and author.  It was an interactive "concert and conversation" in which he played his compositions (accompanied on the cello by Michael Kott) and, amazingly, "chatted" with 1000 of us.  It was absolutely incredible and moving!   
 
 The Eastside Association of Fine Arts (EAFA) Gallery at Seattle Design Center is open through June 2011. 

The EAFA Gallery is located in showroom #A239 on the second floor of the Atrium Building. There will be rotating fine art exhibitions up until the end of June 2011, all of which will be juried to maintain the highest quality work, and will showcase art for sale by some of the best artists in the area. The shows are curated by our own Marcella Diamond, specifically with interior designers and their clients in mind. The space covers approximately 4,000 square feet, and has the capacity to showcase some 50 plus selected artists and 200 works of fine art. On display will be both two dimensional and three dimensional works in a wide range of art mediums, including oil paintings, watercolors, photography, encaustic, fused glass, metal sculpture, and mixed media.  

 

Marcella Diamond's work has been shown here, as well as PRA's Larry LauerGregg Krogstad, and Pinky BlackwellCara Fleming's sister-in-law, Lynn Fleming has also been featured!
