SANTA BARBARA SCULPTORS GUILD June MEETING:
TUESDAY, June 15th at 7PM • Davis Center at De la Vina & Victoria
A letter from the President:
Happy Summer to all the Members of the Santa Barbara Sculptors Guild !
This is a reminder that next Tuesday June 15th at 7:00 p.m. we are having our final meeting of the year. (At the Louise Lowry Davis Center, corner of Victoria and De La Vina streets). This is our most important meeting of the year because we hold our annual elections. The current slate of officers is up for re-election, and we encourage any member of the Guild to run for office!
In addition, there are several other open positions:
A new Newsletter Coordinator is needed, as Solana will be moving to Texas in September. Thank you for your outstanding service this year Solana! There also are vacancies for Event Coordinators (presently Diane Karls and Mary Thompson). Diane has been stellar over the years and Mary is currently our Treasurer. Thank you Mary and Diane, you two are awesome! We also need to fill a new Secretary position whose obligation is to keep the minutes for the Guild Board meetings.
In addition we will be discussing our upcoming Fall Show at the Faulkner Gallery and hope to find volunteers willing to help organize the In-Gathering, the Reception and the Out-Gathering.
Finally, we hope that all who are members-in-spirit will attend and renew for 2010 so they can be members-in-truth! Remember if you haven't paid your dues you can't vote. So let's all make an effort to show up with the desire to be of service and a checkbook to support our Guild !!
Remember a picture may be worth a thousand words but a sculpture is worth a thousand pictures.
See you next week,
Nevin
SANTA BARBARA SCULPTORS GUILD MAY MEETING:
TUESDAY, May 18th at 7PM • Davis Center at De la Vina & Victoria
Edward Divita, a Santa Barbara sculptor, will be presenting. Ed has worked in a variety of media but his favorite materials are clay and wood. His sculptures include realistic figurative life forms in motion as well as a variety of abstract forms — modern, impressionistic and expressionistic. His sculpture activates spontaneously as he formulates their design, imposing motion and action in the composition.
"Each piece is designed to manifest meaning and action in the composition" Ed says, “My fun occurs when I create sculptures of life-forms folding in DNA knowledge as related to the evolution of human beings. My pursuit is to create new expressions of life in large sculptures.”
We hope you join us for this presentation.
SANTA BARBARA SCULPTORS GUILD APRIL MEETING:
TUESDAY, APRIL 20th at 7PM • Davis Center at De la Vina & Victoria
John Kemple, the owner of Genesis Bronze in Paso Robles, will describe casting the Atascadero War Memorial, a larger than life outdoor sculpture that took over a year to complete. Starting with the original maquette by sculptor Mark Greenway, Genesis Bronze took the project from steel armature, to clay, and finally to bronze. This presentation will be of special interest to sculptors who have been casting small bronzes. It will also be informative for those working in other mediums. There will be plenty of time for questions.
