Dear Members,
You will, we hope, be pleased to know that the BACD Newsletter is alive and kicking - and here is one to prove it. Hereafter you should be hearing from us shortly after each monthly Committee meeting, so giving us a chance to share with you what is in the pipeline.
There have been several changes in the Committee of Management of the BACD, our team now consisting of:
Denise Astwood, Heidi Cowen, Christopher Grimes, David Mitchell, Bambi Pimental, Margaret Potts and Paul Slaughter. All at your service! We would like to express the appreciation of all of us to those former members of the Committee who have given so generously of their time and efforts, in particular Jo Stanton and Christopher Marson, - thank you, to you both !
We are in hot pursuit of a new Gallery Manager - we have received several applications in response to the ads in the Royal Gazette, which are being reviewed as we speak, so hopefully we will be able to announce who the new "Kym" is fairly soon. In the meantime, Mary M, Linda and Mary G continue to hold the fort, for which we are all mightily grateful.
We do need to raise some funds, so are rescheduling the Murder Mystery Evening for the second half of October - watch this space! Other events will follow, and we ask for your support. Do please let us know if you have any ideas for future fund-raisers, or if you are willing to volunteer to help bring them into being.
We are delighted to advise that the Astwood Room is now "in apple pie order" and back to being a working part of the Arts Centre. With the enthusiasm of all new brooms, we have re-organised it so that it is part stock room for the shop, and part exhibition space.
Art Shows:
Our Summer Show is hanging at the moment - a really interesting show! There is a large variety of works in all sizes, which presents a great opportunity to get in some early Christmas shopping !! This show will hang until September 17th. As paintings sell, they are removed and replaced with new works, so our show is forever changing.
The next date to mark on your calendar is 'Pastels X', a show by Sharon Wilson and Students, opening on Sunday September 19th, 5.30 - 7.30 pm. A reminder to all participants that work is to be brought in by Thursday September 16.
Next Year's Schedule: We are in the process of putting together next year's line up. We will have one juried theme show - and will shortly be sending out a list of possible "themes" from which we invite artists to choose their favourites.
We are delighted to be a part of the Bermuda Arts Centre at Dockyard, and look forward to bringing you new workshops, events and opportunities. Thank you for your continued support!
