HUB-BUB-BUB
The New Hub Guide The new Hub Initiative has taken off and is still growing! More local VWS events are ocurring and more VWS members are participating in these watercolor related activities. As can be expected when a new initiative is launched, questions have arisen around our newly formed Hubs. The VWS Board has written a Hub Guide in order to carefully answer these questions. You can find the Guide on our new website. Our current Hub Guide contains basic information regarding the" who, what, why and where" of our Hubs. As our Hubs continue to grow, it is expected additional questions will require thoughtful attention. The Board will address the questions as they occur and add the information to the Hub Guide. If you have Hub related questions please contact Pamela Dexter, Hub Director:

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE:
As my term comes to an end, I want you all to know how grateful I am for having had this opportunity to serve on the board of directors as your president.
Looking back, I have to say, I have been most amazed and thrilled by the increased involvement and active participation I have seen from our membership.
You are stepping up, raising your hand and saying YES; I can help make this organization ever better. You are reaching out helping one another, sharing ideas, painting together, creating together, challenging and encouraging each other to learn and grow as artists.
These connections are so wonderful and vital on so many levels and are sure to guarantee a healthy and vibrant future.
I simply can't thank you enough for your willingness to share your time, your ideas, your energy and your support.
Happy Holidays and Joyful Creating!

It is very exciting to have Holbein, USA as a VWS Partner. Being a Vermont based art supplier and full time supporter of arts and the artists who make them, it is a perfect fit for both of us. Please get to know Holbein and support them not only because they are one of our partners, but because they are a world leader in colors and mediums for artists. The Landgrove Inn is the premier, all-in-one lodging, dining and fun space in which to create, exhibit and learn. Check out the 2010 workshop schedule at Landgrove Inn, or call 802 824-6673.
