Raa Newsletter Dec Jan 2009

215 East State Street • Redlands, CA 92373 909/792-8435 www.redlands-art.org Member submissions are welcome and due the First Thursday of the Month. Please email submissions to Grace Fermier at [email protected] and put RAA in the subject line.

December 2008/January 2009 President’s Message Where did this year go? As we prepare for the holidays, keep in mind that RAA is making changes and will be enforcing existing policies. Because our membership has grown and more art is being displayed in the Gallery, strict adherence to the rules is of the utmost importance.

Also, no one may place or move any items belonging to them or anyone else without the express permission of the HANGING COMMITTEE. And lastly, all items MUST be picked up at the end of each show on appointed day, unless given prior approval by Pat Ford.

The membership dues remain the same for all except for Full-time Student memberships that will decrease from $20 to $10. The membership year will still be January 1st to December 31st, however, dues are payable by January 1st! They become delinquent on February 15th. Lengthy grace periods will no longer be granted. Envelopes for new/renewal memberships are provided in this newsletter to simplify your compliance. This will insure that Membership Directories are available earlier in the year.

I prefer not to go on about rules in this column, but it has become necessary. Having clarified the above current and new rules that will be enforced, it is important that you know RAA continues to support all artist members. We simply ask that everyone abide by the rules. Please do your part to make RAA Gallery shows work by working together. Thank you so much.

Showing artists who exhibit their work in each show period MUST BRING IN THEIR WORK ON THE ASSIGNED TAKE-IN DAY — no sooner or later — unless cleared with the Take-In Chair, Pat Ford. Only emergency reasons will be accepted. If artists are not available on Take-In day, they are required to have their work delivered FOR them on the appointed day.

KUDO’S

Each artist who brings in Wall Art (category “A”) is allowed only TWO pieces, not THREE per show, beginning January 2009. Note that all pieces may not be hung if there is little room. If the artist has a Redlands scene for the REDLANDS WALL, one more piece may be allowed. As of January, 2009 NO ITEMS EXCEPT JEWELRY MAY BE PLACED IN JEWELRY DISPLAY CASES!! Items other than jewelry MUST BE DISPLAYED AS TABLE ITEMS OR HUNG ON APPROPRIATE RACKS. In addition, ALL ARTISTS WHO MAKE AND EXHIBIT JEWELRY DO NOT HAVE CLAIM TO ANY ONE SPOT FOR THEIR WORK. A new system is in the works to rotate display areas for jewelry-makers in each show period. ARTISTS WHO EXHIBIT AND SELL NOTE CARDS must pay fees for EACH SHOW PERIOD… unless they also display in other categories… or their cards will be removed.

— Tomi Olson, President

… to the Gallery Take-In Committee headed by Pat Ford and the Gallery Hanging Committee headed by Margaret Gooding. These Committees handle tremendous responsibilities for choices and enforcement of rules. Thank you to these two entire committees!

NOTICE ABOUT NEW MEMBERSHIP AND RENEWAL FEES Beginning January, 2009 all fees are due January 1st and delinquent after February 15th! See enclosed envelope to expedite your payment. READ PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE… to remind you once again of current policies and new ones taking affect.

FROM YOUR ART LIBRARY NAG If you are coming down to the Gallery to shop for the holidays, grab that library book that is overdue and put it in the bottom shelf marked “Books to be filed”. — Thanks, Evelyn Ifft

RAA News & Events Remember the Giving Spirit Family Services was thrilled when Tomi Olson, RAA President, told them we were collecting canned goods, gifts and art supplies for their Christmas give-aways. If you have not already done so, you have until Dec. 15 to put your gift items in the collection boxes at the Gallery. It feels good to give.

NOTES FROM MCAEEF In November the MCAEEF Committee was invited to Redlands High School by the teachers and students of the Special Education Classes to celebrate the completion of the mural “Delectable Art,” which now enhances the walls outside of their classrooms, and was funded by the Margaret Clark Art Education Fund (MCAEEF). The students from four summer school session classes were joined by students from Cope Middle School, in painting a mural of gardens and food produce. The former Cope students are now in the RHS program. The mural illustrates the students’ produce and flower gardens, and the life skills which they are learning by the preparation and serving of food to various groups. Under the leadership of Special Education teachers Cheryl Kennedy and Judy White, and support of Daniel Brown, also Special Ed. faculty, the students treated us to a very nice luncheon. Those of the Committee attending were Lois Fair Wilson, Joan Jensen, Janet and Fred Edwards, Lori Powell, Peggy Dornbach, and Jeff and Suzanne Owens. Among the others at our table were Ginger Peña, the artist who designed and directed the painting, Emily Bueermann who inspired the project and the event, and her husband Redlands Police Chief Jim Bueermann, and Ms. Chris Rivera, Principal of Redlands High School. After lunch was served, we and many of the students from the classes gathered outside by the mural for a ribboncutting and picture. Penny Swartz, Press-Enterprise reporter, was there to document the event. It was a treat to see the happy results from the implementation of one of our grants from the spring of 2008. The committee is currently involved in evaluating several new grant requests. — Reporting for the MCAEEF Committee, Janet Edwards, Chair.

MULTI-MEDIA MINI SHOW Our jurist, Daniel Foster is an accomplished visual artist and poet. For the past 25 years he has pursued his passion for painting, installation art, photography, concrete poetry, conceptual art, public art and many other contemporary forms of art. In January 2009 he will become the President/CEO of The Community Foundation Serving Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, leaving the post of Executive Director at the Riverside Art Museum that he initiated in 2003. This show, like no other, allows many “non-fine arts” artists the chance to show in a juried exhibit. You don’t have to be a professional artist to enter the show. Just bring in your best effort. Daniel is looking forward to the variety of art I’ve promised him. Make yours stand out!

ARTIST-IN-THE-NEWS Joe Colley will be displaying his photography at the University of Redlands Alumni House from January 6 to February 28. He will be showing his black & white and color photos taken along the Oregon Coast, the 3 Cape Loop.

CONGRATULATIONS TO PLEIN AIR WINNERS The awards and opening reception for the RAA/ Redlands Conservancy Plein Air Show was held Sunday, November 23. The show featured Redlands’ Parks. First place award went to Ginger Peña for “Prospect Park”, second place to Joan Coffey for “Shadows at the Bowl”, third place to Leah Balestieri for “Orange Trees at Prospect Park” and honorable mention to Pat Ford for “Looking up at the Bluffs Park”. Ben Bridgers, art professor at the University of Redlands, juried the show. Sixteen artists participated and entered 31 pieces for the Show Within A Show in the East Gallery. Many thanks to the other artists who painted for the show: Luz Maria Perez, Betty Hoadley, Lisa Mozzini-McDill, Julie R. Evans, Tomi Olson, Terry Chacon, Louise M. Smith, Patty Hayden, Jerome Lipetzky, Pat Meeker, Ed Sotello and Evelyn Ifft. Also, Terry Storzieri and I appreciate the help from Joan Wiley, Betty Hoadley, Jerry and Pat Meeker, Sherli Leonard and Cindy Lantier. — Thanks loads! Evelyn Ifft

RAA News & Events PROGRAM FOLLOW-UP

ART-ON-STATE-STREET RECAP

Cindy Lantier and Sandy Davies are anxiously awaiting their finished prints, due this coming Friday (probably the day you receive this newsletter). Cindy was one of the lucky drawing winners of the FREE giclée prints given out by Fernando Chavez of Sol Digital Studio, RAA’s November program demonstrator. Sandy was a tag-along, enticed by the quality of the work presented at the program and Fernando’s low prices. (Other drawing winners for the Free giclée were Tomi Olson and Jim Crippen. Sue Noon won a 25% discount coupon.)

Thank you to the event helpers, Pat Fox, Sue Kovacevich, La Dena Evans, Carol Angier, Eileen Brown, Bill Breer, Jim Gillette and Cindy Lantier. Francis Wiley brought the Beryl Larkin paintings to sell and my husband, Ron, took the leftovers home at the end of the day.

Cindy and Sandy drove to his Corona studio, an easy 50 minute drive from Redlands. He has his studio in the garage at his home — plenty of space to spread out the equipment he needs to make the prints. Cindy had brought a mixed media collage, 11” x 14”, and Sandy brought a watercolor painting, 17” x 17”. Fernando talked to each of them about their art, getting the details he needed to produce the giclées. Sandy ordered a full size giclée and two 8 x 10’s. The initial computer scan of her painting was $100 and the prints about $50... totaling $150. He keeps the scanned image on file and any future prints would be just the cost of the prints. Cindy & Sandy each asked for a disk with their scanned images to download onto their web sites. They didn’t ask for a disk that would produce a full size print, but it probably wouldn’t have cost much. A week later, they went back to Fernando to see their proofs. He produced a 7” x 10” proof for their review and asked for any corrections. Sandy wanted the colors on hers a bit more saturated — a little more contrast. Cindy wanted some color correction, to enhance the turquoise from her original. Fernando wrote the correction instructions right on the proof so he would remember. Then he says, “come back next week for the finished giclées”. To be continued.

Thank You The family of Karen Brandstater thank the RAA for the thoughtful cards and expressions of sympathy. Those who knew her were blessed. Karen was my sister-in-law, my best friend. I feel privileged to be part of this supportive and energetic family of the Redlands Art Association, that never ceases to impress and amaze… — Lynne Bellville Featured Artist Coordinator.

Even though the weather was dreary and the buyers only trickled in, RAA made a decent $1000 profit. I think it was because we had such a great variety of art for sale. Other behind the scenes vendors made the event a success... Cindy from Pat’s Pots got us a nice porta-potty, Traffic Specialties gave us a break on the barricades rental, Cheryl Reidhammer’s overnight security saved some of us a lot of hauling our stuff around Sunday morning and the members of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority had their hot coffee and cool refreshments. Thank you also, to all the artists who braved the weather to get the jump on the holiday buying season. — Submitted by Sandy Davies

INTERESTING Watercolor EXHIBIT At the Western Center for Archaeology and Paleontology in Hemet is a beautiful show of watercolors by A. R. Valentien. He was commissioned to paint 1100 watercolors of western flowers and plants which he called “plant portraits”, in the early 1900s. There are 80 “portraits” shown and are really gorgeous. The show will continue until January 18, 2009 at the Western Center, 2345 Searl Parkway, Hemet CA, 951-791-0033. The rest of the museum is interesting too (prehistoric bones from digging the Diamond Lake dam and pioneer history of Hemet valley.) — Submitted by Evelyn Ifft 6 • RAA • www.redlands-art.org

TECH TIPS ■ From

Sandy Davies

Joan Wiley reminded me of a technique that helps enlarge or reduce your reference source onto your drawing/painting surface. It’s called, “gridding”. For example, if you have a 4”x6” photo that you want to paint into a 16”x20” piece, draw a grid — three lines horizontal and three lines vertical — on both pieces. Examine one square in the reference photo and transpose what you want onto the corresponding square on the blank paper. Like “eating an elephant one bite at a time”, square by square, move the image. When you’re done, erase the grid lines and paint away! n Have you noticed the tape used at Take-in? The tape has a blue plastic center which identifies it as the 3M Scotch Tape brand Removable Tape. (It is sold in a blue box) The tape has a “soft stick”. The tape will stick to paper but not tear the paper when you remove it. While stronger than “Post-it Notes”, it is a weaker bond than regular tape. The take-in crew uses it because it won’t hurt the art when they attach the I.D. number… although they still don’t use it on gilded frames, just in case. I use it when I want to temporarily tape something together. Get yourself a roll, you’ll be surprised how often you use it. Share your tech tips with us! Call Sandy Davies, 909-798-3415 or email her at [email protected]. Put RAA in the subject line, or my spam filter (my husband, Ron) will delete your email.

Plein air painters take note! “The art of painting reveals the nature of reality to me. I have always had difficulty seeing how a landscape looked, if I had not first got the key to it from a great painter. I have experienced and recognized a land’s particular character where a painter has interpreted it to me.”— Isak Dinesen (Karen Blixen) — Submitted by Evelyn Ifft
