Chairmans' Message
The Bon Air Artists Association is more excited that ever to be sponsoring Art Affair 2008. As you probably noticed, we have a whole new look, thanks to Christopher Wynn, who also chairs our publicity committee. We spent over $6500 publicizing the show last year, including over 1000 full-color postcards, three hundred 13 X 19 full-color posters, full-color ads in the Times-Dispatch and Style Weekly, and an article about Art Affair in the Times-Dispatch.
Marti Franks is ready to attempt to top her fundraising record of 2007. Last year she and her committee raised over $6000 for show awards. A judge, arranged for by Betsy Kellum, will select the recipients of these awards.
We remain committed to giving money to area charities. Julie Northcott coordinated donations of $3500 last year for a total of nearly $80,000 over the past 15 years.
Art Affair is run by artists for artists. Barbara Nelson plans the layout of the show and arranges for our wonderful porta-potties that actually have hot and cold running water! Jill Chafin keeps us straight on our money. Ellie Cox records and reports committee decisions. Sherwin Graphery and Wilma Bradner head up the jurying committee. Marti Fann co-ordinates our volunteers, while Betty Mitchell organizes the student show and student volunteers. Kitty Provence will head up the shuttle service. Patrice Reese will be available in the information tent to answer your questions.
We all look forward to seeing you in October 2008!
