KATHRYN
ARNOLD
|
|
|
Abstract artist, Art Professor, and
Fine Arts Division Chair at West Valley College. Kathryn had
art on display at the prestigious San Francisco Art Market and
at the Triton Museum. Kathryn studied at the Kansas City Art
Institute for three years and completed her Bachelor of Fine
Arts in Painting at the University of Kansas, Lawrence in 19991
with a Phi Kappa Phi honor. She completed her Master of Fine
Arts in Art with Honors in May, 1993. (Lawrence, Kansas is where
William Burroughs resided the last section of his life and Alan
Ginsberg a frequent visitor to the area while both were alive.
A bit of the “beat” poets and writers influence is seen in Kathryn’s
work.) Kathryn Arnold has shown her work on a national scale,
from New York City to Hawaii, from Los Angeles to Chicago and
Kansas City and St Louis in commercial galleries, university
galleries, and non-profit community art spaces.
She has been written about by Alan
Artner, Chicago Tribune and Raphael Rubenstein of Art in America
along with many others. An image of her work was displayed in
the New York Times. Her work is included in numerous public
and private collections. Kathryn has also organized and curates
small exhibitions in San Francisco and enjoys writing about
art. Kathryn works in her studio in San Francisco. It is a large
space with a skywell that keeps track of the time. Her work
contains two intertwining veins. One is filled with large, colorful
oils on canvas. The other vein includes drawings that are black
and white mixed media works on paper. Both display the density
and layered mark-making that points to artistic process and
content.

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 2/3 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.
