Lake Alpine Women’s Journaling
and Painting Retreat with
Elaine Frenett & Jean Warren
With the penetrating heat of summer
upon us, try envisioning the air as autumn crisp, leaves
begin to turn golden and thoughts turn to introspection.
Such is the setting for the second annual "Visual Art Journaling
Retreat", September 11 - 16, 2011 at Lake Alpine Resort,
near Bear Valley, California. The clean mountain air invites
us to hike and explore, along with our watercolor journals,
the shimmering lake’s surroundings where Miwok rocks line
the shore. Come breathe creativity into your days ... fully
packed, yet gently paced. This year's "Retreat Chef" is
from the Culinary Institute of America - our meals will
be scrumptious! This all-inclusive retreat is for the spirited
who love words, art, journaling and the energy of other
women. Still available is our "Emerging Artist" Scholarship!

FALC
Guidelines - Criteria for Jurying-in new members
|
FALC has been fortunate this year to welcome many
new members and we can look forward to many others being interested
in joining our club. One of the questions that we get asked
the most from current members and those who are interested in
joining is about our criteria for acceptance. Our process is
clear and simple. Anyone who wants to join needs to bring three
pieces of art to one of our meetings. The members present at
that meeting will vote, and, if a majority of people approve,
that person will be accepted, pay their dues, and become an
exhibiting member.
As a juried club, FALC strives to maintain a certain
standard of proficiency since organizations that invite us to
exhibit assume a certain selectivity. One rule of thumb commonly
used when voting in new members is to ask yourself this question
- Would I like to exhibit with this work? Would this new work
add to the reputation of the club? Just as we support each other
by bringing our best work to shows and by providing new, fresh
work for the painting changes at Quinlan, we can use our Artists'
eyes to make decisions about what work will be hanging beside
us at the next show.
Voting "no" during the jurying-in process does
not bar an artist from joining the club. The artist can still
be a member, just not an "exhibiting member". Non-exhibiting
members can attend demos and meetings that provide an environment
for their art to grow. As they continue to develop their skills,
they are welcome to jury in at a later date.

FALC
Guidelines - Copyrighted material
|
|
The laws regarding copyrighted
material are complex and not uniform from state to state. In order
to avoid liability and the burden of determining whether a particular
image involves copyright infringement, FALC has created the following
guidelines for member artists. FALC assumes that it is the respoinsibility
of the artist to honestly follow these guidelines and assumes
no liability for work that is submitted or displayed not following
these guidelines. It reserves the right to disqualify a painting
if there is reasonable doubt about copyright infringement or plagiarism.
- Work entered for a show must be the
artist's original work in concept and execution.
- It cannot be copied from copyrighted
material or photographs belonging to another person or organizaion
except with the copyright holder's explicit written permission.
- It cannot be the reproduction of a
painting done by another person even if the original artist
is acknowledged on the painting.
- It cannot be the reproduction of a
historic painting.
