1. JURIED SHOW @ Taking Submissions for March 14th. Jurors are Lois and Doug who will jury the show early next week. The show will run from March 23rd-29th. What day would be good for the opening? Preferably earlier in the week. We now need a real poster to be made for the actually show, after we find out the opening date.

2. Kristina is organizing a model night for next week, March 18th. I believe she will be doing posters so look for that.
When? Tuesday March 18th, 2008. From 7 PM - 10 PM
Where? ECH, room 1205
Details? There is no cover charge, and there are 18 spots left so please talk to Kristina Foster, or email her ASAP (spunkyneko@gmail.com) you’re interested in signing up for the three hour session. Please only sign up if you are 100% sure you can make it, the spots will probably fill up pretty fast.

3. Someone got in contact with me regarding a dinner through Conestogo College, called Art of Food, and they are interested in using some work from students at UW to “set the mood” and that would be willing to sell. She is looking for 5-8 pieces. If anyone is interested, please email Lindsay at laharwood@gmail.com

4. ASU Meeting Tonight @ 530. Can anyone make it out for this? If not we just have to make sure to be at the 26th Meeting.

5. SOFA Elections will be held on our last meeting date, that being Wednesday April 2nd. If people are interested in being a greater part of SOFA by joining the executive it’s a good idea to get the wheels of thought in motion. POSTERS WILL BE UP SOON.

6. I met with someone who is interested in changing the murals that are in the Great Hall in the SLC (remember the pastel abstract people?). She is wondering if any Fine Art students would be interesting in volunteering for this monumental job. It would probably be a Summer/Fall project. If interested, contact me and I can get you in contact with the representative I talked to.

7. PROM #2. April 12th (Saturday). Similar to last year (one live bands, and djs). If anyone is interested in helping Andrew G, email him at dynamiteandrew@hotmail.com. Posters will be up soon.

8. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR FOOD PREPERATION for the 4th Year Grad Show on March 28th. Talk to Rebecca, or shoot an email here.

Thanks Team

If you’re upset you missed the deadline, don’t fret, you can still submit before Friday November 23rd to Lesley Hartley or to any SoFA member, or to anyone in the 4th year studio. However, the sooner you submit the more buyers can view your work, hence increasing the chance of purchase.
So, submit at least one work! It will be great to put onto your resume and having your work in a public gallery space!

IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE: The artists are now receiving 75% of the sale price of the artwork. In other words, SOFA only receives 25% commission. Sound better?
PLEASE SUBMIT MINIS!!
