Spring Exhibit Reminders and Information



Hello, Arts Guild!

A BIG THANKS to Marianne Miller for her great workshop at last week's Arts Guild meeting! We have all really enjoyed the programs we have had so far this year and we are looking forward to more great Arts Guild programs to come. Since our big show is happening this month there will not be an Arts Guild Meeting in April. We’re so excited that Black Water Pottery has agreed to do the program at our May meeting, so please plan on coming to that on May, 21st at 6:30pm! We will do our best to send out reminders for that meeting as it draws nearer. 

Another BIG THANK YOU for the growing support we're seeing in The Photography Club. They have had some very productive meetings and discussions this year, and we're all looking forward to seeing more great programs from our dedicated photographers.

All of our club members are working hard preparing for the spring show and we are all very excited to see all of the great work that our artists have been creating! In preparation for the exhibit, here are some things we want to make sure that you know --

  • All artists participating in the Spring Exhibit should send in their information for inclusion in the News and Farmer’s Special Edition Arts Insert, by Friday, April 6th. It is very important that we have good representation from our Guild in the insert so that the News and Farmer can continue to help us with this community effort. All they need is a picture of you and a short bio – a few sentences about you and/or your work will be great! This helps our Guild and many local merchants advertising in the insert to get the word out about this important community event, and many wonderful things that our community has to offer. Please e-mail your image and bio to David Irwin at The News and Farmer at david.irwin@thenewsandfarmer.com and if you have any questions please feel free to call David at 478.494.7723. You are also welcomed to drop off your bio and photo in person at The News and Farmer, The Jefferson County Information Center or The Fire House Gallery in downtown Louisville.

  • The Arts Guild of Jefferson County Spring Exhibit 2012 will be on display at the Fire House Gallery from Wednesday, April 11th through Saturday, April 4th. The Gallery is always open to the public Wednesday - Friday Noon - 6pm, Saturday 9am - 4pm. Arts Guild members will staff The Gallery on Sunday, April 15th from 1-4pm, so that people can visit that day as well. There will be two other downtown locations where work will be on display from April 13th - 15th. Arts Guild Members will be staffing these other two locations Friday – Sunday. One of those locations will be The Gatherings on Broad Street, the other downtown location is yet to be determined, but we will send out notification to our members as soon as we know where it will be.

  • The Opening Reception will be held in downtown Louisville at the three locations on Friday, April 13th from 7pm - 9pm. Pete Love will be playing music on the square and refreshments will be served.

  • All work must be brought to the Fire House Gallery located at 605 Mulberry Street in Louisville on either Saturday, April 7th between 4pm and 6pm, or Monday, April 9th between 1pm and 4pm. The exhibit committee will only have a short time to set and hang the show once the work is in, so it is critical that work is brought in on time. If you cannot deliver your work during this time, please make other arrangements with Candis Freeman to accept your work prior to this date & time. To contact Candis please call 407‐415‐0490 (cell); or e-mail candisfreeman@mac.com

  • Please turn in your registration form and tag information (documents attached) when you turn in your artwork at The Fire House Gallery. There are hard copies of these forms available at the Jefferson County Information Center located at 107 W. Broad Street, and the Chamber of Commerce located at 302 E. Broad Street in Louisville. You can help us spread the word by directing people to http://www.jeffersoncountygeorgiainfo.org/arts.html where these forms are available for download along with other helpful information. Please feel free to drop off your forms prior to the registration deadline either at The Fire House Gallery, The Chamber of Commerce, or The Jefferson County Information Center.

  • If your artwork is on display at either of the two locations downtown that are NOT the Fire House Gallery, artists must pick up their work on Sunday, April 15th between 4pm and 6pm. If you cannot pick up your work during this time, please make other arrangements for someone to assist you.

  • All work displayed at The Fire House Gallery must be picked up from the Fire House Gallery on Saturday, April 21, from 2:00‐4:00pm. The Gallery will be preparing for their next show and will need the space immediately. Again, if you cannot accommodate this schedule, please make arrangements with another artist to assist you.

  • Remember - Pretty Petty will be performing for Music in the Park on Saturday, April 14th at Helen Clark Memorial Park from 4-6pm in Louisville, so please come out and support this other great Arts Guild sponsored event the night after our big opening reception! 

  • And please remember to help us out by sending in your picture and bios to the News and Farmer no later than this Friday!


THANKS!!!!!
