New Poster, GLOW Planning Meeting, Dates and Deadlines

YOU MISSED IT - THE POSTER CONTEST IS OVER
Yup. The poster contest took place and you didn't finish one in time. So you lost.

THE RESULTS OF THE POSTER CONTEST YOU MISSED:
Ginny won it.

WHO IS GINNY?
You don't know? You seriously don't know who Ginny "Competition Crusher" Edwards is? She won last time too. Holy cow, you totally need to visit her website here:

SO... WHAT DOES THE POSTER LOOK LIKE?
If you'd been at the meeting, you'd know! Geez!

SERIOUSLY, I REALLY WANT TO SEE IT
Fine then. Here it is. And it's TOTALLY more awesome than the one you were going to enter.

Now... on to business.

MEETING THIS WEEK

WEDNESDAY, May 27th at Avenue 9

GLOW Meeting: 6:30 PM
Main Meeting: 7:30PM

Once again, we're meeting at the amazingly groovy Avenue 9. (http://www.avenue9nashville.com)


ADDRESS:
Avenue 9
312 9th Avenue
South
Nashville
, TN 37203


GETTING THERE
The venue is located on a part of 9th Avenue near Cummins Station. 9th Avenue ends at Demonbreun by the Frist and picks back up for a short distance between Clark Place and Lea Avenue. You may find this short section of 9th Ave by turning onto Lea Ave or Clark Place from either 8th Avenue South or 10th Avenue South. Then turn onto 9th Avenue South from Lea or Clark. Look for the Molyneux Sign above the entrance.

PARKING

Free Street parking. Please do not park in the lot across the street at this time.

ABOUT THE GLOW MEETING
Join us as we plan GLOW! Everyone is welcome to participate and bring their glowy ideas to the long, scary, corporate table.

ABOUT THE REGULAR MEETING - SKETCHBOOK NIGHT... FOR REAL!
Sketchbook night! That's right! Last week was so hectic and full, we bumped sketch night to this meeting. Bring something to draw, volunteer to model, or just sketch portraits of the people inside your head. We won't judge you. Seriously. Unless you draw something REALLY creepy evil, then you'll be silently ostracized in our uniquely Southern way. Also, we'll be talking about GLOW and sharing ideas for upcoming workshops and activities. Bring your ideas. And no, we're not playing drunk Twister again. Really. We're not. So don't even bring it up.

Oh... and one last thing... you'll be able to check out the nifty new venue at the meeting. Hope that makes up for the lack of "the physically demanding co-ed drinking game that will no longer be mentioned."

GREETINGS!
We welcome you, citizens of Earth and respected dignitaries from Alpha Centauri and the Pleiades Cluster! This Untitled newsletter isn't going crazy on any given theme. That's right.

GLOW GLOWED GLOWINGLY
Though some of us were too busy cooking seafood last week, there were still plenty of folks that came and stepped up for the upcoming Glow show. That's right, we got volunteers! Check out these illustrious chairpersons:

MEETING THEME: Art Books... and Gossip?
Are you DYING to know if Lucian Freud ever paints attractive models? Or if Jeff Koons is more than a hollow candy shell? Or if Leonardo DaVinci was ever reincarnated as a bionic version of Tina Fey and then sent to the future to stop Skynet? This is gossip week! Let's talk art, share our art books, paint each other's nails and have a grand old Untitled time!

Special Feature! DO IT YOURSELF ARTLeads!

This week, your newsletter writer is too dang busy to cut and paste links to recent ArtLeads. Want to know why? Because they are ALSO an artist (like you!) and have a show drop-off tomorrow - and paintings to polish up, frame and hang ("With yarn and duct tape?" you ask? "No!" the artist replies. "No no NO!")

So... that leads into this week's Special Segment called "DIY ArtLeads!"

Just click away and enjoy the new posts - of which there are some good ones!
