Kuna Arts and History Center’s Call to Artists

By Events, Exhibits

Dear Idaho Watercolor Society members, the following call to artists was received from the City of Kuna Arts & History Center Curator. A link to the Call to Artists Packet Application is at the bottom of the announcement.

 

Hello,
My name is Leah Torres, I am the Curator for the Kuna Arts and History Center. The Center opened on March 13th of this year and is home to new art and historical exhibits every quarter, an art gallery, and a media room with books and documents available for research. We want this space to be a bastion of arts and history in Kuna, and so I wanted to reach out because we recently released a Call to Artists for exhibitions! There are opportunities for solo, organization, or group shows at the Center and I am looking to disseminate the information packet and application in case some members or your organization would be interested in submitting work. I have attached the information packet and application in this email for convenience. We are accepting applications and all supplementary materials via email, mail, or in person to the City of Kuna Clerk’s office and/or the Kuna Arts and History Center. To be considered for our next quarterly exhibit opening August 21st, submissions would need to be in by July 25th at 5:00PM, but submissions will still be accepted on an ongoing basis for later shows afterwards.
I am just looking to reach out and start a relationship with artists and artist organizations so that the community can get involved and experience the arts, as well as offer an opportunity to artists to display their artwork. If this is something the Idaho Watercolor Society or its members are interested in, please let me know! Thank you so much for your time.
I look forward to hearing from you,

Leah Torres

Call to Artists Packet Application

2024 Annual Juried Exhibition Painting Pick-up

By Annual Juried Exhibition

Hello all:

All IWS members who have paintings hanging in the Riverside Hotel Water’s Edge Gallery (NOT part of the travel show) please come to the Sapphire Room entrance on Monday, July 1, and meet in the Emerald Room for your painting pick-up between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM.

There will be several of us there to sign your painting out.

Shipped paintings will be repackaged in the original packing materials, put in the original shipping box, and returned to you via UPS.  We have a “customer center” here in Boise which is less expensive than the UPS stores with which you may be familiar.

Scott will ship your painting to you and will email you the receipt.  Please send your check for the shipping to Dennis Hayzlett at:

IWS c/o Dennis Hayzlett
2044 E Lamar Ct.
Boise, ID  83712   

 

Please let Scott know if you plan to have someone from your region pick up your painting for hand delivery.

For those of you whose painting will be part of the travel show, they will return to Scott sometime in early November.  If you are not local, he will re-package your work and ship it as described above.  Otherwise you’ll be notified by phone or email (or both) and we’ll arrange a time for you to pick up your painting from:

3640 N Pankratz Way
Meridian, ID  83646

Thanks very much!

Audio-Visual Technology for IWS Workshops

By Workshops

If you have attended an IWS workshop any time during the past few years, you know we use a video camera, linked to either a projector or a TV set, to make the instructor’s actions more visible to the class. We have used a small SONY camcorder and are now using a GoPro 11 video camera to observe the lessons.

Right now, I am the only person acquainted with the camera and able to set it up for workshop use. I would like to meet with several other IWS members who would be interested in learning how to operate the camera and to set it up in the workshop area. By sharing this information, we can make sure that there is always someone available to help with any given activity.

If you take frequent workshops, this would be a perfect way to become more involved in assisting with IWS activities. Please let me know if you are interested in learning more about the GoPro and how we utilize it to enhance the workshops. I would like to set up one or two meetings between now and the end of May to pass on what I have learned and explore how we can better use this flexible technology.

Please send me an email to [email protected] expressing your interest and I will contact you with further details.

Thank you.

IMPORTANT! Silver Sponsorship–PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

By Annual Juried Exhibition

Greetings, all Participants in the 2024 Annual Juried Membership Exhibition:

If you submitted your artwork to our Annual Show being exhibited at the Riverside Hotel, and you wish to sell your painting, this re-announcement pertains to you.

Idaho Power has asked to participate in our Silver Sponsor program.  They have offered $800 (commission-free) for the option to choose one piece of artwork in our exhibit.  This is a possible sale for your exhibited artwork.

But you must tell me if you wish to participate.  This only means your piece MAY be chosen for this honor.

If you have established an asking price for your painting, it may be to your advantage to participate.

Please shoot me an email directly to [email protected] if you would like to enter the program, or text me at 805-795-0252.

I can only offer those paintings to Idaho Power if you specifically asked to be part of this program.  I don’t want to risk offering a painting which is not for sale.

Here is the list of participants to date.  If you see your name here and you DON’T want to be part of this program, please contact me immediately.

Annual Juried Exhibition Participants and Idaho Power Sponsorship

By Annual Juried Exhibition, Events, Exhibits

Greetings Annual Show exhibitors:

We are pleased to announce that Idaho Power is again interested in sponsoring the purchase of a painting for their collection.  I have negotiated a (tentative) offer of $800 for the purchase of your painting by Idaho Power, should you choose to participate.

In 2019, this sponsorship was $600.

To understand this properly, your painting priced at $1100 would, after commission to IWS and the Water’s Edge Gallery would net $715.  This is after considering your painting may not sell at all.

A guaranteed price of $800 may be of more value to you than a hopeful asking price of $1500.

We do not deduct an IWS commission from this sale, and since it’s not driven by the venue, the Water’s Edge Gallery is excluded from commission in this sale.  You would receive the entire $800.

The sooner we hear from you on your willingness to participate, the sooner we can ink this proposal with Idaho Power.  Please get back directly to Scott Muscolo 805-795-0252 or at [email protected] to confirm your participation.

Thank you!
