MAY 2021 - ZOOM MEETING/JEAN MACKAY (pre-recorded)

Picture
Interested in sketchbooking as an artform in itself?  Jean Mackay's approach to sketching in nature is a great introduction into working with minimal materials; compact tools that fit into pockets yet are the high quality we are used to in the studio.  Join us for a pre-recorded session with Jean through the generosity of Martha Jordan, owner of the Winslow Art Center.  The supply list contains links for some of the items if you want to get a jump start on the upcoming plein air/sketching outdoor season!

DECEMBER 2020 - ZOOM MEETING/KEIKO TANABE DEMO


NOVEMBER 2020 - GENERAL BUSINESS MEETING (ZOOM)


Dear Members,
Per our By Laws, we are notifying you that our Annual Business Meeting is scheduled for Saturday, November 21st, (10:00-12:00pm). We will be voting to approve the 2021 proposed budget and to elect board members. Please review the attachments linked below.

Because this year our meeting will be virtual, we will be doing our vote a little differently. We will assume that you approve of the 2 board members, but in case you do not, and privately want to cast a nay vote, you will send a PRIVATE message to our Secretary, Kelly Knouff-Burk via the ZOOM chat during the voting process. This will be explained at the meeting.

See important files for this meeting attached below.

I will be sending a Zoom meeting invite the week of the meeting. We look forward to seeing you all then.

Cheers,
Amalia Fisch
SWS President
