Preliminary Prospectus:

Initial exhibition will be at the UNL East Campus Student Union in Lincoln during the month of March. Nudes are not allowed and will not be hung.

Artists may enter one or two pieces.

Artwork may be no larger than 18 X 24 and will have screw eyes and wire for hanging.

Drop-off will be on Saturday, Feb. 27 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The artwork will be stored until the show is hung on Monday, March 1. Arrangements can be made to transport pieces from Omaha to Lincoln. Jeri Brainard will be unable to be there for the drop-off so if you're willing to facilitate this, please contact Cyndy Ulrich Sacks. She will be there to hang the show on Monday and can be there on Saturday but would rather only make one trip to Lincoln.

Pick-up will most likely be on Friday, April 2. Cyndy is looking into delaying the pick-up until Saturday, April 3 and possibly arranging a lunch meeting and also a tour of the Quilt Museum, Robert Hillestad Gallery and the Dairy Store for that day. How many of you would be interested in doing that? It is the day before Easter, if that would make a difference to you.

More great news about the show!! Sondra Gerber and Anne Nye, owners of Blue Pomegranate Gallery at 6570 Maple in Omaha, have agreed to allow us to hang "Any Dream Will Do" in their gallery for the month of September! Stop in and say hello and thanks. Drop-off and pick-up dates will be sent to you as the time approaches.

Encaustic Workshop

Margaret Berry

Saturday, April 24, 2010

Margaret Berry is very enthusiastic about teaching an Encaustic Workshop for us. Diane Mattern has graciously agreed to let us use her studio once again. It will be a really fun experience!

The class will be 3 hours long which should be enough time for each to finish 2 pieces. The minimum number of students is 6 and the maximum is 12. The fee for the class is $15/hr for instruction and materials per person. The total fee will vary depending on how many take the class because there is a $60 travel expense fee that will be divided equally among those in the class. The cost to you will end up being between $45 and $55 and a portion of that will be covered by the Caucus for our Members.

Cyndy requests a committed response from anyone who wants to take the class and also a preference for a morning or an afternoon class time. When she has received answers, she can decide whether there is a need to split into two classes and class times will be set.

Upcoming Events:

March 2010 - "Any Dream Will Do," UNL East Campus Student Union

April 24, 2010 - Encaustic Workshop

June 19, 2010 - Possible Summer Solstice Celebration

September 2010 - "Any Dream Will Do," Blue Pomegranate Gallery

December 2010 - "2010: Recollections and Reflections," Hot Shops Hallway Gallery

Preliminary information so that you can get started:

Size limitation will be 20 x 10 or 10 x 20 - in reference to the year 2010

There is still a need for someone to chair this show and complete the details for the prospectus. Cyndy will expect to hear from one of us to volunteer for this. We do have many women with experience in creating a prospectus and coordinating a show who would be able to give advice on the procedure for someone who is inexperienced but would like the opportunity to learn.
