It is time again for recruiting board members for the next term. Two current members’ terms will be up in 2023. Anyone interested in volunteering on the board can email joplinrac@gmail.com. Angel Brame will send an email to membership with a request for anyone interested to respond.

The event had 25 participants with half being from Joplin and quite a few being JRAC members. Spiva and the participants were very appreciative of the JRAC sponsorship of the awards. They were all very grateful for the generosity. The participant surveys noted that the event was great fun, a wonderful opportunity to get to know each other and learn from each other, and all looking forward to next year. Social media posts were the most effective in getting the word out on the event.

The purchase of arrow stickers for the yard signs was discussed and all agreed were a good solution. Emily Rose volunteered to work on publicity and PSA’s for the event using her list of media connections.
The watercolor workshop with Debbie Reed was well attended. Debbie offered her vast knowledge of watercolor techniques and history. It was a wonderful workshop full of inspiration. As a reminder, JRAC workshops are free to members and offered to non-members at a minimal fee. Workshops are a great way to learn new things and interact with other artists.

Our next group exhibit is titled, “The Eyes Have It.” It is scheduled for later in the fall. Details on when and where for drop off, reception, etc will be available as it gets closer to the event. Art takes time.
While there is a theme/title for the show, it is not a requirement. Some of our artists look at the theme as a challenge or starting point. Some of our artists prefer to let their art lead them. Either way, we are excited to see what everyone comes up with!
Let us know if you have any questions.

Angel Brame will send an email to members requesting details of donated pieces for display planning purposes.

Daria will reach out to Steve Doerr for guidance on PSA’s.
