Gallery the third or fourth Friday or Saturday in January, and tour the
Galleries and eateries of the surrounding Mount Vernon area. It has the nearby
cathedral and the main Enoch Pratt Library.
*Perhaps after the thaw we will head WEST to Pittsburgh's museums.
*More info at the next---January's--club meeting.
*Happy---and safe---holidays! Don't drink and create!
COMMENT: We did go to the Walters in
February. There was no trip in January.

We need to discuss:
Our trips-- One to Annapolis or Pittsburgh, Pa., or where have you?
Our raffle?
Get some supplies for the ART Dept.
Our plans for the Spring Student Art Show-- Yes, we have to start early, because
we all have exams when the show is happenin', so let's plan it NOW! This is our
duty, folks, the trips are the glory.
For more of an "audience", do we need to change venues?
----Valley Mall? ����------CP Conference Room?
A garden pot sale? Brian's been making a few little pots in
Ceramics.....
The Walters Trip in Review

Member: Brian Simmons
Four students and a guest went to Lexington Market and the Walters Art Gallery
on 13 February.
It was Friday the 13th all right: we got our wires crossed on when and where to
meet, costing us about 1-1/4 hours.
The computer directions to Baltimore left out one turn, costing us ten minutes.
And our transportation lost all oil on the other side of South Mountain, causing
us to have to wait for a tow for 45 minutes on the brink of I-70 West at night!
But, we got back safely and this writer's only real regret is that the "wasted"
time wasn't spent shopping at the Market or, better still, in the Gallery-- and
our driver and Darlene Stred's guest,
Cristoforo Padula, was so upbeat and
interesting, even that wasn't wasted time.
Three post cards from the special exhibit and two other cards showing Walters
Art Gallery pieces, as well as a Gallery brochure are displayed on and around
the Art Department lobby bulletin board.
Trip to the MONET Exhibit: 4/10

The trip to the Walters Art Gallery for the Monet exhibit was on 10 April, Good
Friday.
HJC was closed.
After getting a copy of her clean driving record
and submitting it to the college comptroller, a club member,
Darlene Stred, was OK'ed to be the driver--as we used an HJC
minivan.
Cost, excluding lunch, was $1.70 for driving, $8 to see Monet show.
Other UPCOMING TRIPS, one DEFINITE!

Annapolis, Md.(and its small art galleries: Quiet Waters Farm, Anne Arundel Com.

Summary

Member: Brian Simmons
The presidents have decided to move the meetings back to the THURSDAY time to
see if we can gain members. So it's THURSDAYS at 11:30
am from now on.
The club donated two wall clocks for use in the Art Department in honor of
Darlene Stred, who let us use her minivan
in February for the Walters trip. The van expired on the return.
It's gone now.
Those interested in Evening Art Club meetings, or finding out what's going on in
the club, but are
unable to attend meetings, you will have to read and post here or read and post
on the real bulletin
board in CP 126 Art Dept. Lobby (on the left). Though Brian
Simmons had been
staying till 6 pm. on Wednesdays, no-one seemed interested. If there is interest
(JUST ASK in a note or in person), he will stay to relate club news and
talk.
Our 26 February meeting saw a new member,
Chris Foxwell, join in. So far,
most interest on the trips is to Pittsburgh. We discussed current goings on and
the student expo. We hope to have a garden sale
and a raffle by term's end. The 70's party probably won't happen, unless we
involve another club.
Cindy Digulimio joined in on 2 April. The Walters trip was a go. A Bay
Bridge trip was added.
Chris, Cindy, Brian and Ben Culbertson attended the 9
April meeting. The pottery sale's
in
doubt. A raffle will be held at the Student Expo [Show]. Flyers for the trips
have been posted about.
An additional clock has been installed.
Brian Simmons donated
some Cezanne posters and two art post cards.

ART SHOW : May 4 - May 8. If you can't enter a piece of work please plan on
attending this function. Come and see what other artist are doing and meet the
artists
on Monday the 4th 6 pm-8 pm.
It's a good way to meet others with an interest in art.
Thursday's Art club meeting will finalize the art show stuff and talk about next
years' happenings.
Hope to see ya there!

Basically, this show was our best ever. This is not my personal assessment, but
the general consensus of the exhibit goers who wrote comments. My "Not too
shabby, folks" was the lowest comment made, and I, Brian meant that as an
understatement.
Pluses: There was more work exhibited than in the fall. We had a raffle (winner:
Cheryl Twine of Mercersburg, Penna.) and a guest book. We had LIVE music for
the reception. We had Krumpe donuts!
Minuses: Not many people came to view this. The fall receptions were better
attended. The flash board at the Dual Highway Home Federal did NOT advertize us!
"News" 25 walked right past our exhibit to the parental lecture on Thursday!
Brian had to grab witnesses for the Monsoon Friday Raffle. People have not yet
picked up all their stuff from the exhibit. The price list for works that were
for sale was incomplete.
The pottery sale needs to be out at the mall.
Mr. Culbertson is supportive of having the next show at the County Museum of
Fine Arts. I think that's doable.
New Department Stuff!

After the LRC Building is constructed, the CP Building is going to be gutted!
But, in the aftermath, we probably will get the PERMANENT GALLERY we want.
And, the Division Chair is budgeting a new gas kiln. She has told Mr. Culbertson
NOT to refit the old one, submit the price of a whole NEW one! The old bricks
will be used to make a pit kiln. Or, a small Habitat for Humanity House for
Brian.....
Ceramics Intensive Trip to D.C. and Annapolis
Posted: 7/6/98 12:18 PM�������From PlanetAll
Member: Brian Simmons
The Ceramics Intensive Four and Art Club co-President Daettia Butler took a
class
trip on Thursday, 2 July 1998+ to view ceramic works at the Freer Gallery and
the
Sackler Gallery in Washington, D.C. They then went to Annapolis,
Maryland to Annapolis Pottery at State Circle and Cornhill Street, a production
pottery enterprise. They viewed the work for sale and were given a tour of the
facility
by one ofthe owners. They were invited to submit work for consideration, as
about
50% of their offerings are produced off site and are sold at a commission. They
then
toured Annapolis a
bit, ang went to a lapidary store, Black Market Minerals, in Harbor Square Mall
near
the
City Dock.
All four class members went, and Dae Butler, Art Club co-President,
also attended.
Save for getting lost a bit in D.C. (we got on the closest thing D.C. has to a
DIRT road, then got on the Anacostia Freeway) and playing limba with the school
minivan in L'Enfant Plaza's underground parking garage, it was a very
enjoyable--and informative trip.
