Artist Entry Form on the Website

I just uploaded a new form that can be filled out on the website for all the challenge and special exhibit shows. This should help speed up the paperwork process and take care of handwriting interpretation issues.

Log into the Info Center and go to the Forms section. At the top will be the "Artist Entry Form". Click on the title and the form will open. Fill it out and/or save it to your computer or print it out directly.

This form will clear if you close it, so print it the number of times you need it if you don't save to your computer. My suggestion is to save the form to your computer and then you will have it available when ever you need it.

***If you would like to save the filled in form you have to "print" it as a PDF. If you don't have a PDF printer already installed on your computer you can download a freeware version from CutePDF. This is the one I use. There are others out on the web if you want to use one of the others.***

If used for different events, just print the PDF form under a slightly different name. This will give you a history of your entries into shows and will help when deciding on your label information.

Hope this helps everyone.

2013 Juried Exhibit Selected

It is official, we have a new topic for our juried exhibit that is due in March. "Maps" was voted on by the members out of an ABUNDANCE of submitted ideas. There were several that I found personally inspiring and I am happy with the selection.

It will be exciting to see what the membership submits for this exhibit. It seemed to have a lot of interest by the enthuastic voting.

A suggestion was put forth that since "Maps" is due in March that we bring the in progress work to the November and/or January meeting to inspire others to keep working on their pieces. We had such a strong exhibit with "Black and White with a Twist" that the bar is set pretty high.

Wasn't it great to find out that the B/W exhibit will be traveling to Houston. Comments from Carmen and Amanda were extremely positive and that it was a strong exhibit. Way to go QOTW!

See you all in November if not sooner.

Don't forget that Textures will be having their exhibit at the Merc in Temecula opening October 5th (artist reception night). The local quilt guild will be having their annual outdoor show on October 6th so you could make it a two-fer and also enjoy some of the local wineries and dining.
