Note from the Editor

I’m looking forward to being the new editor of the Art League newsletter. Please bear with me as I grow into this responsibility. Bud Nagy has done an outstanding job with the newsletter for the past few years – which makes it a “tough act to follow”. I welcome any comments or suggestions to make the Art League newsletter more useful to you – the members. Thank you …..Ellen Hildenbrand

Display or Sell Your Paintings

Redstone Highlands are looking for artists to display or sell their paintings at their three facilities at North Huntingdon, Greensburg and Murrysville. The area to display the paintings would hold approximately 15 paintings (depending on the size of the paintings). The paintings would be displayed for a two month period, starting on the 1st of the month and then taken down on the last day of the following month. If you would like to take advantage of this opportunity, please contact Linda Hodge at (724) 733-9494 and she will inform you to what time slots are available.

Custom Picture Framing by Dave Rawlins

Dave has temporarily suspended his mat cutting workshop due to health reasons. Rawlins Framing shop is still open. Dave offers a full line of quality framing services and supplies. Telephone number (724) 744-4531. Dave now has a shrink wrap machine and can now wrap matted pictures. Pastels and pencil drawings should be sprayed before matting and shrink wrapped, if you want to sell them unframed.

Membership Drive

The art league presently has over 150 members. This year we‘d like to double our membership, partly to increase our revenue but also to promote our wonderful organization to the community. In spite of the fact that the Norwin Art League has been a part of our community for 54 years, there are many people who have no idea we exist. We’re asking you to sign up one new member this year. Maybe a parent, son or daughter, or good friend who is interested in art but has never belonged. A $25.00 membership or $40.00 family membership makes a great gift especially for someone who‘s hard to buy for. With their membership they’ll receive all the newsletters and workshop flyers throughout the year. They‘ll also be eligible to exhibit and sell their own artwork at any of our 7 venues. The Norwin Art League is one of THE BEST art organizations in Western Pa.

Library Books

Our library is over stocked and sadly under-used. We are making available a number of lightly used art books for sale. Stop into the league for details.

Newsletter by E-Mail

We would like to start sending your bi-monthly newsletter by E-mail to those of you that have computers. This would save the Norwin Art League a lot of time and money. You would be able to get the newsletter a lot faster. If this is something that you would not want to see happen, please notify us at budnagy@comcast.net, sap53@aol.com or bobvon123@aol.com. If you change your carrier, please notify us as soon as possible.
