North Shore Artists' Guild (formerly West Vancouver Sketch Club) April 2006 Page 2 West Vancouver Yacht Club Sketches The Past Commodore of the WVYC suggested to me that they would be interested in a set of pen and ink greeting cards that they could sell to their members or use for Club business. While the details have not been determined, if you can prepare one or more pen and ink sketches of the Yacht Club grounds or outstations, or of suitable marine or boating subjects, and bring them to me at the May monthly meeting, we wifi select a number of these for this project. Assume that we can resize them to fit the greeting cards, so there is no real specification on size. The Guild and the artists will of course have credits on the back of the cards. I do not have any financial considerations worked out at this moment. cExfii6itions J4(Spence 604-988-2737 allinspence@telus.net The next event in our Guild activity is the May 12-13 jurying, so have 3 paintings ready to bring in.

The forms for the jurying will be in the May newsletter. Those of you with paintings designated for the Spring Park Royal Show May 15-21 wifi be getting called for roster duty, you will be expected to sit one session for each painting you have in the show. If for some reason you cannot work a 2 hour session into your schedule please remember it is your responsibility to find a substitute in the Guild to do your session for you. We would rather not have to refuse to hang your painting in the show. The list of paintings and artists wifi be in the May newsletter. Drop off of your work is 6:00, Sunday, May 14th. You will bring your paintings to the north side of Park Royal by going around the west side of the mall to the rear and proceeding to the rear double doors. there is always ample parking there.

Our next jurying will take place on Friday, May 12 and Saturday, May 13. Each artist is allowed to bring up to three paintings. The jurying fee for each painting is $2.00, the hanging fee, if your work is chosen, is $2.00 per painting. To be eligible you have to have attended 3 meetings in the past year. We encourage our newer members to enter into our jurying. It is not a difficult process, just bring your paintings to the jury location at St. Catherine's Church, 1058 Ridgewood Drive, North Vancouver. Once there, the paintings are registered, numbered and photographed and put on display for the jurors. There are two jurors that come on the Saturday morning. For this jurying the jurors are Mile Svob and Stuart Slind. They each give a mark out of 4 and these marks are added together to give a total out of 8. Usually a 4 will get your painting into a show. Even if you do not have anything chosen at this time, don't be discouraged as most of us have experienced this from time to time. If there are any questions please feel free to call me at 604-985-6570. cEdication - Jacquie !Manning 604-980-8907 ssziklai@keynotetech.com This April we have something a little different for you during the education portion of the meeting.

Our evening with Ingrid and Michael will replace the group critique session we have held the last couple years. Members of our executive have (bravely) consented to having their paintings scrutinized and critiqued. Our guest artists will discuss composition, values,
