MINUTES - September 5, 2018

President Kathy Lang opened the meeting at 10:00 by congratulating again the winners of the Art Show last month, and thanked all those who helped. Input was received on how show could be improved for next year. Kathy said  we have the downstairs of The Barn reserved for next year, which alleviated concern of light shining on art work, and show not as accessible for people visiting Barn. The Evaluation Committee will be reviewing entry process for next year, and work on more required involvement of members submitting work.

The Fall Workshop was discussed and noted the date change to October 26 and 27. Debbie Cannatella will be our artist for this. She will emphasize composition and design in watercolor.  Registration is open to the first 15 paid GCWS members.  After September 27th, it will be open to non-members until the workshop is filled. Make checks payable to GCWS. Send check to Cornelia Dettmer, 3472 Whitfield Ave., Cincinnati OH 45220 or pay at the meeting by check or credit card.
