Festival is still coming
and Volunteers are STILL needed!!!
| And it ‘s time for all the
VAC members to sign up as a volunteer for some job. There is
something for everyone, so don’t be bashful. Below is a short
list of volunteer opportunities that are needed right away.
Don’t be bashful—pick one or two and call the office to
volunteer. The number is 855-2064. 1. One person to come in and make copies for registration packets. Probably about four hours of work. 2. Six people to stuff the Registration Packets. Done at the office, in about two weeks from now. Takes about three hours. 3. Six people to stuff and address Booth Assignment Letters. Done at the office, and takes about two hours. Should be the last week in August. 4. Still need two people to co-chair the volunteers committee. This is our Ambassadors program, those wonderful people who are our outreach to help our exhibitors. Having two people means less work for each, and one can take mornings and one afternoons at the Festival. 5. There are other jobs coming up, but I’ll wait until next month to post them. They are available on sign-up sheets at the General Meeting, if you want to avoid the rush. Please remember: The Festival is the fund-raising arm of the Village Art Club. This is the way we raise the money that we operate the club, sponsor the two galleries, and offer our scholarships on. If you are a member, you should be volunteering to help. (Besides, it is really fun!) Thanks in advance! DeLane |

ART AROUND TOWN
USE YOUR CAMERA TO PROMOTE YOUR TALENTS! If you are a club member you and your art could be featured in an upcoming issue of Artyfacts and archived on the website! It's easy, and it's free! Simply email an image of yourself and some of your works, along with a biography to dustie@dustie.com. Potters, Crafters, Jewelry Makers, Painters...everyone who is artistic and want to sell their creations have to "blow their own horns"! Taking advantage of this website and being in the Digital Spotlight is a great way to do just that! DON'T HAVE A DIGITAL CAMERA? Then do the same, only with regular snap shots and regular mail mailed to me at 26 Tibberton Cr Dr, Bella Vista, Ar 72714. This will take longer, but the "old fashioned" ways work just fine, even in these days of high tech. We all know that artists have to promote themselves, and the Artyfacts is dedicated to promoting village art club members, toot your own horn this way and we'll redirect it to the rest of the membership!

DON'T FORGET GALLERY
WEST You don't want to miss seeing the fine works hung by club members here so while out and about be sure to visit the gallery at the Highlands Crossing, located at the Southeast corner of the intersection of Highway 340 (Lanshire Blvd) and Forest Hills Blvd near the Highland's Entry. Hours at Gallery West are 8-5 on weekdays and Saturday morning.
AND CRYSTAL BRIDGES AT THE MASSEY! http://massey.crystalbridges.org/ It's not every day, year, or even even at all, that a museum of the caliber of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art is built in your own backyard so you might want to keep abreast of their progress! In the meantime, Crystal Bridges at the Massey (on the Bentonville Square where the old library used to be) is hosting visiting artists, exhibits, free classes and more! A few of our members recently participated in a couple of the classes held by visiting wildlife artist, Susan Morrison from Eureka Springs, and had nothing but good to say about their experiences!
