Both went well, a nice reception was held on opening night at the Ferry Building and we had 6 paintings sold. Congratulations by Freda Ashworth Athabaska North by Lucy Collins Bales by Jacquie Manning Bluely Through a Circle naLuo.n.&! by Al Spence Going for a Row White Flowers in a Vase by Jayne St. John by Lynn Webster Seasons on Cypress . -. ` The "runaway" winner of the People's Choice Award at the July Ferry Building Show was Louise Goodman's painting entitled "Resisting Improvement". Congratulations, Louise. Two shows will be taking place in November: we will jury for 40 paintings in October for the W.V. LIBRARY show which will take place from Nov. 1 30. Bring your paintings to the library on Wed November 1 at 9 am, and the pick up time is at 9 am on Friday, December 1st. The reception for this show will be on Saturday, November 4 from 2 -4 pm Please get your invitations and calls out to your contacts for the show and the reception. - We could not get space at Park Royal Mall until the New Year, so the paintings assigned for the fall Park Royal show will now be used for a Capilano Mall show, which will be from November 13-19. Bring your paintings to Capilano Mall on Sunday, November 12 at 6 pm and pick them up on Sunday, November 19 at 6 pm. The Equipment Team should met at Klee Wyck at 5PM on the 12th to load the display panels and then set them up at the Mall. Unfortunately, Monday November 13 is a holiday, but it was the only week available. The malls are using their space more and more for kiosks who pay the mall for the space or to charitable organizations, whereas we fit neither category. So we are getting the space that's left over in a sense. We will have a reception probably on Tuesday. November 14, and this will be confirmed in the next newsletter. This show is well positioned just prior to the Holidays, so you may get some gift buyers to attend this one. The People's Choice Award at the Harmony Arts Festival generated a very strong interest and we received many ballots as a result, spread over many artists. We ended up with a tie for the Award. The two winners are Racing the Clouds by Marilyn MacDonald and Woodland Light by Moraig Congratulations to your both. Biagi - It should also be mentioned that other artists with 20 or more votes any votes included Gary Eder (Peggy's Cove), Joan Fraser (Floral), Jane Armstrong (Bunch of Beets), Nancy Dean (Rocky Shore Stanley Park) and Barbara Ohi (Evening Carver). - As most of you will know, we will now take the ballots and, if the voters agreed to have us do so, we will enter the names and contact information into the Guild website. The contacts will be shared with the artists geffing the votes, so those members can accept these contacts and have them automatically added to their own set of contacts. If you would like to invite these people to an event in the future you will have additional new names to consider. Thanks to the Computer Committee led by Edith Warner, and consisting of Mary MacDonald, Nancy Dean, Allyson MacBean and Louise Nicholson, for entering this information on behalf of the Guild and the many affected members. One of the things we noticed in the balloting for the Peoples' Choice award at the Harmony Arts Festival is that some of the paintings that sold during the Festival did not garner a lot of votes as
