Attention Mid-Del Art Guild Members:

Hello Everyone,

Your blog is up and running. Below you will find instructions on how to find it and three(3) ways to post/write to your blog.

I am composing this from my email and also sending it to our blog.You should be able to see this on our blog page too. It will remain on our blog for future reference.

You may post personal things such as awards, honors, and exhibit

announcements. Please post if you hear of possible venues for Hang'n Round Town that you want me to check out. If you hear of calls for artists, let your fellow members know by posting it.

If you have a personal website or blog please email it to me and I will put it in our links list. If you are members of other art organizations please send me their website addresses and I will also add them to our links list. If you don't wish to post anything,

that is ok, but check back often for information.

Round Town. To the right of our name are two

buttons. Click on the one that reads change settings, and

you will get a page with multiple tabs. Click on the

This one may seem harder, because you are out of

the comfort zone of your own email and it has more

steps and takes a little longer than the other two.

I do hope you use and enjoy your blog.

One more note: When you send a blog please sign it with your name, so we know who it is from if we have any questions.

Lou Dennard at Holland Realtors

Support your fellow members by visiting their art venue and let them know you saw it.


HRT NEWS:

I stopped at a new coffee shop called "the underground" the owner Jacob Hussain is very interested in having local artists show their work for sale. He has an artist showing now that will sale on commission. He is going to talk it over with his ?wife?, co-owner about letting Mid-Del Artists hanging there. It may be for a small commission if the artist is selling. You would just have to be sure to figure the commission into your sale price.

If we do happen to pick up this venue, I strongly suggest having at the least a very simple contract type agreement between you, the artist, and the venue owner. Have two copies and both parties sign both copies.

I am still needing a volunteer artist to help me set up the venue at the Midwest Medical Group. It is located just north of S. E. 15th on S. Douglas Blvd. turn west at the traffic light at Wonga Dr.

We would go together near the end of their day, so we would not have to wait very long. You would need to bring your art and be ready to hang. I can only suggest to bring about 7-10 pieces of original framed art. They have been very hard to pin down on the exact number of art works they can handle. They need a little nudging.



Don't let your tools gather dust. Keep creating happy.
