Re-cap of April 2011 Meeting
Oh, we had some fun at the beginning of the meeting. We at our normal meeting place only to be locked out. It was a very confusing. We had a key to the annex room only to be shut out because the room was being used as a tax preparer room.
It basically meant that we had to have our meeting elsewhere so we left and went to West Memphis’s Church of God to have our meeting.
The meeting was finally opened at 7:25 and the formality began.
Sandy read the minutes from the last meeting.
Clara gave her report on our finances. Clara is looking for a free account to place our moneys into because our current bank is charging a fee for our account.
REPORT ON SARA
Sara is doing fine and the doctors say that they have got all the cancer. Sara hopes to be back at the meetings soon.
Our primary art project is due at the May meeting. Most of the 11 there said they were not ready yet.
DISPLAY
James is the coordinator and is looking for members who wish to have their own show at one of our ventures. He did not have the list of where everyone was showing at just that Helen is showing at Marion Suntrust Bank.
We are no longer showing at the chamber of West Memphis. They are remodeling and choose what the design wants.
We are hanging at Veanos Restaurant.

PROGRAM FOR APRIL
Clara gave the program on Encaustic painting, also known as hot wax painting, involves using heated beeswax to which colored pigments are added. Instead of using beeswax we used crayons.

RE-CAP March Meeting 2011
Tuesday, March1st, was the DAS monthly meeting at the Delta Arts Office at 7pm.
There were 11 members and one visitor in attendance. The visitor came to join by being asked by James House to come. She and a couple others are taking art classes at Mid-South Community College.
James is a member of the Master Gardner’s Club.
Helen formally opened the meeting with the reading of last months minutes read by Sandy Younger. While reading the minutes Sandy jokily said that she could not read today which became contagious.
Clara was next to give her report on the finances. We are in the read with no outstanding debts.
After finishing her report, Clara gave a report of our sicken member Sara Bundy. Clara stated that today Sara got to go home with her sister after a term of being sick. Clara suggested that Sara would enjoy to receive a call from members and her cell number was given out. There was also a get well card sent around for everyone there to sign for Sara.
OLD BUSINESS
“Who has their Crittenden County Landmark Finished?”
Hands went up through out the meeting hall. Willie brought his painting to show by suggestion of Clara. The painting is of the Marion Courthouse. Willie said he would be finishing it by cleaning some places up otherwise it was finished.
“Has anyone started the primary painting?” This time no one answered the question. The painting is not due until our May meeting.
The primary painting has a limited color pallet of blue, yellow, red, white, and burnt umber. Subjects in the painting are building/s, water and tree/s.
James jokily said that pure watercolorist don’t use white in their paintings. He suggested that purple should be used instead, I really believed that he just wanted to add another color to his pallet and no one really paid attention to the suggestion.
ARTIST OF THE MONTH RETURN
Helen stated that since we were not getting correct information published in The Evening Times about our artist of the month that she has postpone it for a while.
This did not mean that we have gave up on who are the artist of the months previous. Carroll and James are to bring paintings and a small bio to class at Clara’s Studio to get ready for the publication.
APRIL’S MEETING
James volunteered to be host for our April Meeting. Joan Rainey will be bring the door prize and Clara will present the program.
WE NEED NEW WORKS
The display’s have not changed. It seems that every time that there is a plan to move the display it would rain or snow. It is a possibility that next week that the display will change.
Bring your works to the next meeting.
Sandy suggested that we quietly opt the Chamber on our display list. “No one really sees it, “ said Sandy. Two pieces are displayed in the lobby while the others are displayed in meeting rooms.
CLOTHESELINE ART SALE
Clara has offered to give her yard to a clothesline art sale for June 4th. A clothesline art sale is were an artist artworks are displayed for sale. Clara’s Studio is hosting the event. If it rains, it will be rescheduled.

An announcement was made at the September meeting stating that the decision had been made by the Delta Arts Board to no longer provide funding for the Delta Artists Society, but that their facility could still be used to hold our monthly meetings.
This will also mean that the Annual Retreat will be cancelled. However, Clara Miller has contacted Tommy Ramer, from Evolve Bank of West Memphis, and they have agreed to sponsor the show.

DAS Meeting Sept 2010
The reading of the minutes were read at the meeting about what we all did in the last meeting in August.
Delta Arts gave back the dues the members paid at the July meeting. This money was placed in account. The reason why we were given back the due money is that we are no longer under the umbrella of the Delta Arts.
To most of the members is was a little shock but is was expected. The DAS really have not been included in Delta Arts events. Since the DAS is an independent entity this gives the group the freedom to do more in the community.
With the “kicking out” the DAS has gained a sponsor for the upcoming Members Show. This was a blessing and we do need more sponsors.
I suggested that since West Memphis is building a new information center that we should design postcards that could be sold there. Printing the postcard will be the responsibility of each artist and well worth the effort.
The annual fall retreat is on hold which again no problem to most of the members.
The Artist of the Month for September is Carroll Keys. His bio is to be written and placed in the Evening Times soon.
This is basically what went on at the meeting.
Delta Arts has given us the use of their building for our monthly meetings.

Meeting July 6th 2010
Well, it was that time of the month again. Meeting time.
We were all sad to here that our out going president James was in the hospital.
So we had a informal meeting. Less structural than our normal meetings. So everyone was a little scattered with conversations popping everywhere.
Artist of the month , which was suggested by Bonnie last month, was choiced by a lottery. The lottery is for active members, mainly whomever is there at meetings.
Phyllis won the Artist of the month. Her picture and a painting will be posted here, our facebook page, and the Eveningtimes News paper soon.
Congratulations to our new officers for the 2010-2012.
Helen- Pres
Sara – Vice Pres
Clara – Treasurer
Sandy – Secretary
At the meeting Kaye brought our Membership Directory that she created. To find everyone go by the first names which is what everyone can remember.
Thanks Pat for supplying the door prizes and thanks Sara for the snacks.
Oh, by the way, the chair for the display committee was James. It was just because someone is needed.
