Members,

Attached please find an invitation to a  meeting to discuss art issues for LaCrosse. The invite is from Don Smith, I believe President of the Board of the Pump House.

In the past, CRW had displays at the Pump House and there were (are?) WRAP competitions. For the WRAP competitions, the judge(s) usually knew nothing about wood art. Nice people, but just not knowledgeable about turning. Over the past couple years, I have not seen competitions at the Pump House that led me to believe that a turned piece would fit in. I could have missed something going on there, however.

When I first started with CRW in 2005, we had a club display at the Pump House. Group displays at the Pump House had gotten to be more cumbersome to do as they are now juried (not sure if they were in the past). This means that pieces to be displayed would need to be photographed and sent in for approval. If it’s one person displaying, not too much of an issue. But with our group of 100 members, too much hassle in my view.  Etc, etc.

These are my thoughts. I could be wrong as things may either be different or I misunderstood. Regardless, it would be beneficial to have a CRW Board member at this session.


Thanks,
Bob
