Monday Plein Air Paintout Information

Hello Everyone,

There is a change of plans for this coming Monday, August 6th. We will be joining the First Monday Painters of Port Orford to do some figure painting. We will be at the Port Orford Public Library from 12 - 3 p.m.

We will be drawing and/or painting-- medium of your choice just so it's not too messy. Bring a dropcloth for pastels, etc. to protect the floor. There is a sink in the room.

(If you want to go earlier and find some trees to paint in Port Orford, that's fine too. :)

If you want to caravan or carpool with me, I will be leaving Bandon at 11:15. Meet me at the vacant lot next to Forget Me Knots quilt store on Hwy 101 across from the Station Restaurant. Please let me know if you are meeting me so I don't leave you.


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.

My phone number 541-297-6118.

Thanks!

Ava

p.s. Our plein air group show in the window cases next to Jo-Ann Fabrics in Pony Village Mall is rescheduled until the first weekend in October, so bring me paintings then. :) I will remind you then.

p.s.s. Thanks to everyone who attended the art reception at Art by the Sea Gallery and Studio. We had a wonderful turnout. It was nice to see everyone and visit with you. It's so nice to live in an area where art and artists are valued.

Ava

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.

------------------------------------
