Monday Plein Air Paintout Information

Hello Everyone,

This Monday, July 30th we will be re-visiting the madrone trees at Amber Harris' house.  We can be there anytime between 12 - 5 p.m.  You can arrive at 12 noon and stay until 5 p.m., or leave sooner.  Come later in the day, whatever fits your schedule.  Bring your lunches, snacks and beverages and painting gear..

Directions:  Take either Highway 42 S to Prosper Jct. Rd. or take Hwy 101 north of Bandon to Prosper Jct. Rd (south of the Coquille River Bridge where Riverside Drive meets Hwy 101)

Take PROSPER JCT RD. until you see the entrance on the north side of the road marked GLENWOOD ESTATES.  Turn into the entrance road then make a right on Sunny Loop.  Watch your speed.  Drive east on Sunny Loop, (keep going straight when you come to N. Sunny Loop) continue until the road curves left, follow it--start looking on the right hand side.

Our theme this summer is "Iconic Trees of the South Coast".  So if you have a favorite tree or two that you think we would like to set up and paint, please let me know.  We will have a show with our trees later on.

Anyone have beautiful madrone, maple trees, or others, on their property, or know of trees that are accessible to painters and parking of cars, please call me.

Our plein air group has been invited to put paintings in the window cases by JoAnn Fabrics in Pony Village Mall during August.  So please be figuring out what you want to show, along with label information, etc.

My phone number 541-297-6118.

Thanks!
Ava
p.s.  Hope you can join us for the Art by the Sea Gallery and Studio art opening on Thursday, August 2nd, from 4 - 6 p.m.  Then go by the Library and the opening reception for Kathleen Morey Bailey show there.

Artists' Accomplishments:
We want to honor the achievements of all you artists, so don't be shy about
sending the highlights of your art lives, or those of your artist friends.

Congratulations to Janne LaValle, Susan Lehman, Clayton Redwood, Pat Snyder and dorothea tortilla for the beautiful show at Black Market Gourmet in Coos Bay.  The opening reception was fabulous, including the music and food, but especially the art.  If you haven't had a chance to see the show, please do.

Congratulations to Steve and Susan Dimmock of Bandon whose year-long show at Oregon Coast Aquarium has been extended for another summer.  If you haven't yet seen the show, or want to see it again, check out the "Passages of the Deep" (where the fish in the tunnel are located.)  They are now the official photographers for the OC Aquarium, taking pictures of their animals, birds and other creatures for their marketing, and are currently working on a photo essay of the organization.

Congratulations to J.M. Steele, Gold Beach, who was juried into the "Icons of the West" show at Dana Gallery in Missoula, Montana, June 1st - Sept. 12th.  Her oil painting "Rough Rider" was juried into the art show, and sold at the opening reception.  Way to go, Jeanne!  To view the show copy this into your browser:  http://www.danagallery.com/artists/_icons%202012_/index.html

Oregon Arts Commission (OAC) has set a deadline of August 15, 2012 for the first of three deadlines for Career Opportunity Grants.  Additional resources from The Ford Family Foundation are available to mid-career visual artists in this cycle.

Guidelines and access to the on-line grant application are
available at
http://oregon.culturegrants.org/navigation/links/page/grants-to-individuals.

Career Opportunity Grants support Oregon artists who have identified critical opportunities to advance their careers through the development of artistic, or business and professional skills.

Artists may apply for funding to show in national or international exhibits, to participate in conferences, workshops or residencies, or to explore other ways to expand their knowledge and business base.  Up to $1500 may be requested.  Emerging and established artists practicing all disciplines are eligible, students and hobbyists are not.

The Ford Family Foundation Opportunity Grants target full-time visual artists in the 30 and over age group.  Awards range from $1500 to $7500.  Artists apply for The Ford Family Foundation funds in the same manner as the Career Opportunity grants; the applications are reviewed in a single combined process.

"We are very pleased to offer this important support to Oregon artists in partnership with The Ford Family Foundation", said OAC Executive Director Chris D'Arcy.  "The Career Opportunity grants have enabled artists to take designs into the commercial marketplace; allowed others to travel to present their work at international fairs and festivals, and provided for the professional recording of new music.  These artists are important part of Oregon's creative economy.

Grant applications are evaluated according to the following three criteria.

Artistic Merit 50% quality of work samples, background and experience as demonstrated by resume, samples and other supporting materials.

Career Impact 45% uniqueness of the opportunity, quality of the proposed event, or a clearly defined need for the artistic or business skill proposed to be developed.

Budget 5%:  Costs proportional to proposed activity, purpose for which grant funds will be used.
