We had a great meeting
at the Sugar Land Art Center! http://www.sugarlandartcenter.org/
We voted to continue meeting there. The Center has a lovely gallery, and
there will be opportunities for us to participate in shows. There are
other artists giving workshops in other classrooms, and a couple of
artists stopped in to see what we were doing and admire the dolls and ask
questions. The meeting room is spacious, with a large sink which will
enable us to have more hands on programs and workshops. All in all this
will be a positive move for TAODA.
We
discussed upcoming opportunities including The Museum Experience (formerly
known as Gathering of the Guilds) which will take place on Saturday, April 25
at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft. http://www.crafthouston.org/
If you would like to sign up for a three hour shift from 11:00 a.m.-2:00
p.m. or2:00-5:00 p.m. please email me. It's a fun event.
Our gallery show this
year will be in December at the Galveston Art League. http://galvestonartleague.com/
Our resident wordsmith Theresa May came up with a wonderful title for our
show: Word Takes Form. This can be interpreted in many ways:
a doll inspired by a poem, a quote, a book, or even a thought. Contact
Marsha Krohn for more information about that show.
Our 2016 gallery show
will be at the Brazosport Center for Arts and Sciences. http://bcfas.org/
The show will run the last week in April through the last week in May.
Joyce Patterson and Sally Stevenson will be the show
coordinators. It's a very large gallery and we will need lots
and lots of dolls so it's not too early to start working towards that show!
