Previous Meeting's Review
| |
We enjoyed a wonderful energetic presentation by glaze chemist Jim Robinson of Rookwood Pottery on May 11 for the final WACC meeting. Jim's passion for pottery was overflowing as he spoke in detail about the history of Rookwood. We took a visual tour from start to finish of making a Rookwood piece as well a studio tour of the current Rookwood operating plant The members enjoyed it so much that one of our members may arrange either a social outing or a member meeting for a studio tour of the plant for the fall of 2013.
President Diana Taylor presented Mary Ran of Mary Ran Gallery with an engraved vase as our thank-you for hosting a fund raiser on our behalf.
Look for details in upcoming newsletters or email announcements on this tour as well as the many other great speakers lined up for the 2013-2014 season !

Stay in touch through the summer! Feel free to share your art experiences on our Club Facebook page, and look there for announcements and activities.

Dee Fagedes presented a One-Woman, 50 year Retrospective Exhibition in November, at the Woman's Art Club. The exhibit included paintings on loan from her clients and a slide show of her commissioned work. Her specialty is portraiture- a fresh, contemporary approach in watercolor. Exquisite!
LuAnna Klote received a Purchase Award for her painting "San Juan Capistrano" in the 2013 Healing Arts Exhibit at the McCullough-Hyde Memorial Hospital in Oxford, OH. Her "Southern Magnolia" painting is also in the show.
LuAnna Klote's three paintings "Lady Orchid", "Mountains of Alaska" and "Tranquility" sold in the Back to Nature-Discover Nature Fundraiser at the Cincinnati Nature Center - Rowe Woods.

ANNUAL CAMPAIGN
Thank you in advance for your generous contributions to our annual campaign. Donations are fully tax deductible, and much needed to support programs and operations at The Barn. This campaign is our largest fund raiser each year, and vital to pay the bills from Duke Energy, Cincinnati Water Works, Cincinnati Bell...you get the picture. Anything you can contribute, even just $25, will help us reach our goal of $12,500.
This cultural center was created to fulfill the Club's dream of impacting the region represented by our membership. The 5,000 adults and children who enjoy programs, exhibits and classes in our facility benefit from that dream.
At this writing, only 10% of our members have contributed to this once-a-year campaign, and we are still short of our goal. For those members who volunteer at The Barn, you have the Foundation's deep appreciation. You keep our doors open, assist at events and supply a lot of the behind the scenes work. However financial support is essential, and we hope that those members who can will send a donation today.
You can donate online at womansartclub.com, or send your check to:
Annual Campaign at The Barn, 6980 Cambridge Ave., Mariemont, OH 45227
