- Fall Fun Fest and Craft Fair on September 11 and 12, 2009.
Greetings to all, Big time cool update! Arts/Crafts area will be located where it used to be and ought to be;
connected to the square, starting at corner of Jefferson and Broad...slid one block up from where we were last year...
no inflatables blocking us out from view. My last letter mentioned 2 personal heroes for that weekend...well...
I've got a new one at the top of my list. Gail Luna is president of Cookeville Arts Council
{as well as Bryan Symphony Orchestra}, she presented our case {location and value of A/C area}
to Cityscape board of directors and accomplished what I wanted to but I'm sure I never could have achieved on my own.
Of course; the input of several local groups and many individuals who voiced their concerns
with the relocation/value of the A/C area impacted on Cityscape's decision,
and I thank all who took the time to express their opinions, I know that all the input helped to affect the board's view
of the event. I just gotta give major kudos to Gail for working to se al the deal.
Other than that please just follow the rules/guidelines on app. form; deadline, required photos/slides, this is a juried show,
those accepted last year are not pre-accepted for this year. We've only got 20 spaces;
are striving to keep it original, diverse, high quality work.
That's it for now. Other than our moving back to where we belong {WOOHOO!},
all should be the same as before {but better than last year}...Friday afternoon/evening, all day Sat. into the evening
as late as you choose. Being back on the square will make a big difference on evening sales.
Anyone from out of town; I expect to get a good deal with Star Motor Inn again, will let you know when I do.
**Applications and info can be found at fallfunfest.com or finecrafts.org.
Take care, will be in touch, send in your apps! Mike

- FAIRFIELD GLADE ART GUILD ANNOUNCES JUNE STUDIO TOURS
(931-459-2789 or lareiss@frontiernet.net).
Visitors can observe elements of the process of several artists by participating in a tour through their home studios.
Sponsored by the Art Guild at Fairfield Glade, the June 2009 Studio Tour will be held Saturday, June 13, 2009.
The Plateau Creative Arts Center, 451 Lakeview Drive, will feature additional demonstrations
by two participating artists during the tour.
Admission to this event is $10.00 (high school and elementary students are free), and ticket sales
begin May 11 at the Plateau Creative Arts Center. To purchase tickets with a credit card payment,
call 707-7249 or mail your remittance to the Art Guild at the PCAC address. Tickets can also
be obtained at the Village Green Mall from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon on May 18, May 26, June 1, June 8, June 11, and June 12.
Sharron Eckert and Judi Moenck will introduce tour participants to their art forms
through demonstrations at the PCAC. Sharron sews long leaf pine needles with a coiling technique
using various threads including raffia and waxed linens, and Judi will have several pieces of handwoven beadwork
jewelry in various stages of completion.
- ART UPSTAIRS gallery is has turned out to be quite a successful exhibit space.
We have made quite a few sales and the openings are well attended.
The last opening had well over 80 people in attendance. We still do not have insurance but we feel fairly secure
about pieces not being taken from the space. All spots have been taken for this year and we will be mailing out
an application form out soon, for both Art Prowl and another for the Art Upstairs Gallery. The deadlines are July 1
and Sept. 1. Each form will require 5 excellent digital photographs of your work,
but the gallery space requires a proposal for its use. Two person and group shows are recommended
and we welcome conceptual art and installations (small). Large installations are possible
as long has we have access of to the 2000 square foot room next to the gallery, but that great space has limitations,
like no heat or air conditioning and very limited electricity for your exhibit.
The Art Prowl requires a $125 fee which includes membership and for ART Upstairs the fee is 25% of sales.
We are looking forward to Nan Jacobson's exhibit on June 5.(from Merritt)
