A CALL TO ACTION….
DO SOMETHING….SOMEWHERE….SOMEHOW
There are plenty of opportunities to help.
ARE YOU interested in helping with the Pony Village Mall Art Show on May 19th & 20th?
There are many things that need to be done even if it’s just hanging flyers, setting up the room, checking in artwork, etc. Please contact Kay Van Wart, the Show Chairperson, at (541) 266-8727 if you are interested in helping.
ARE YOU interested in organizing art workshops?
ARE YOU interested in helping with the Student Award Program that recognizes the artistic achievement of deserving students in the local schools?
Both of the above fall under the job description of Education Chairperson, which we currently do not have. We’d really like to see someone skilled at bringing in art educators for workshops and possibly has a connection, either past or present, with the schools. Please contact me, Stephanie Donaldson, at (541) 404-9511 if you are interested in one or both components of Education Chairperson.
In the meantime, don’t forget to attend our next Program. Art Educator and Calligrapher, Bill Blumberg will present “Calligraphy and Prismacolor” at the next BAAA Meeting on Saturday, March 10th. See you there!

Greetings! As the 2012 BAAA President, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the 2011 BAAA Board and Committee Chairpersons for their hard work and dedication over the past year.
I would also like to take a moment to revisit the “Purpose” of the Bay Area Artists’ Association as it is written in the Bylaws:
“BAAA shall strive to support the success of member artists by providing opportunities to interact with other artists, to exhibit their work and through educational programs; and to promote arts as a positive and necessary component in a healthy community.”
Nowhere in the “Purpose” statement or the BAAA Bylaws, in general, is there a restriction on: form, genre, media or style. There is also no restriction on the skill level or goals of the artist. For example, you might:
work in 2-D or 3-D, (form)
paint landscapes or sculpt nudes, (genre)
use the most expensive camera and lens money can buy or use markers on cardboard boxes, (media)
etch realistic portraits on glass or weld non-objective sculpture from recycled metal, (style)
be a hobby artist or a professional artist known around the globe, (skill level)
create art for fun, fame, or fortune, (goal)
What I’ve listed above barely even scratches the surface, but essentially what I would like to tell you is that you are ALL welcome at BAAA! Your input and initiative is needed and I invite you to come to the BAAA Meeting on Saturday, January 14th to share your ideas for 2012.
