Newsletter April 2006
Meeting The next meeting of the Community Arts Association will be held on Tuesday, April 11, at the Archer Church, 37 East Allendale Avenue at Franklin Turnpike. Refreshments will be served at 7:30 p.m. and the business meeting will begin at 8:00 p.m.
President's Message:
Even though March has been colder than January, I can now say spring has finally arrived . Hopefully the transitional period from brown to green will progress quickly and the delights of spring flowers will soon be upon us.
Believe it or not, we have two meetings remaining this season. The CAA board has prepared a slate of officers for members to vote on during this April meeting. The officer positions are established as a two-year term. The nominated slate of officers for the term July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2008 is as follows:
President - Joyce Kanyuk Vice President - Rose Scaglione Treasurer - Jack O'Reilly Recording Secretary - Mary Shine Corresponding Secretary - Lanis Monfried
Your vote and participation is important, so please mark your calendar and attend this meeting. The swearing in of new officers will take place at our May meeting.
Membership renewals will be forthcoming and again I am impressing upon members that our club can only continue with your support and volunteerism. Many of the positions can be done as a group or individually at your home not requiring many skills. Rose Scaglione has been for many years demo program chair, and an assistant is requested. Rose has done and continues to do a great job. Having another hand with this task is greatly appreciated. I also thank Rose for organizing the bus trip to the Salmagundi Club AWS annual exhibit in NYC. Call Rose at 845-323-4234.The trip is scheduled for Thursday, April 6, leaving at 8:45 from the A&P parking lot, W. Allendale Ave. and Demercurio Dr., one block from the intersection of W. Allendale and Franklin Turnpike. We will spend the morning in Soho and the afternoon at the Salmagundi Club, returning about 5:00. Starting next season we will need a volunteer for hospitality, which requires setting up the coffee for each club meeting. A special thank you and much appreciation is extended to Rolf Hellmich for his many years at this task. Volunteers are also needed for publicity, CAA shows ( Sponsor/Silent Auction and Member show), workshop coordinator and the like. Please take particular consideration when completing the membership renewal and volunteer form. Your support and participation are what makes Community Arts the club it is servicing its local communities and artists.

President's
Message Congratulations
to our new officers voted in at our April meeting, President -- Joyce
Kanyuk, Vice-President -- Rose Scaglione, Treasurer -- Jack O'Reilly,
Recording Secretary -- Mary Shine and Corresponding Secretary -- Lanis
Monfried. The swearing in ceremony will take place at the May
meeting. Please attend our next meeting (the last for the season)
in welcoming our new officers.
Before I pass the baton to our new president, I wish to take this
opportunity to thank many of the members for their dedication and
assistance in their continued efforts in supporting Community
Arts.
My four year tenure has been a personal
fulfilling experience. I only hope many members concur with the
changes made on operating costs such as meeting hall relocation and
underutilized monthly cost items. I am proud to say our club is
solvent and continues to operate within budget constraints. I extend special thanks of gratitude and
appreciation to all board members because with their commitment our club
continues to be recognized as a viable club servicing not only local
artists but its surrounding communities as well.
Our newsletter will be managed by Tom
Monfried as announced in April. Please make sure you note this
email and address change. Thank you Tom for stepping to the plate
in assisting our club with this task. Special thanks to Phyllis O'Reilly
for the six or eight years as newsletter chair. With the help
of Phyllis' computer knowledge, CAA has obtained sizable cost
savings on postage resulting from emailing the
newsletter. Thank you Phyllis in establishing the
groundwork. For the next season, we have a few
critical chair positions needing volunteers. These tasks are: publicity, program chair assistant,
bus trips, special events i.e. annual fundraising and juried show,
hospitality, membership and a few other smaller assignments. Please take the time to sign up on your
renewal membership form.
2007 Juried Show
Much thought has been given in deciding whether or not to have a
National Juried Show next year. Any show of this magnitude
requires at least a handful of volunteers to step up at various stages. Our last National Show in March 2005,
was housed at RAI running for just over two and half weeks due to the
weeks RAI galleries were available. For a show of this size
and accepting works from all over the country, the entrants
prefer at least a month to show. CAA would prefer
to have the show in April or May and run for a full month.
RAI can not provide those months and anytime sooner is not enough
time. Winter tends to hang on during March which at the
time, can pose some undo anxieties and uncertainties. Also, a
national show requires a volunteer to manage the delivery and return of
accepted works shipped. Richard Ochs who recently passed away was
a long time member and fine artist who in the past managed this task for
us.
In light of the above, Pat Rutkowski will chair a Regional Juried
Show to be housed at the Louis Bay Library in Hawthorne from May 5,
2007, receiving date, until June 9, 2007, pick-up date. All
works accepted would have to be delivered by the artist on receiving
day. We will not be providing management
for shipped works. Hence, a renewed look at a juried regional
show instead of national juried show.
The
Louis Bay Library facility can house up to 90 paintings, more or
less, and small sculpture on their own pedestals as done in the national
show. The prospectus and details need yet to be determined as well
as all other assignments. Please contact Pat Rutkowski at (201)
818-4103 or email at PHRTIST@aol.com
if you wish to take part in this event.

RAI can not provide those months and anytime sooner is not enough

national show requires a volunteer to manage the delivery and return of
accepted works shipped. Richard Ochs who recently passed away was

2007, receiving date, until June 9, 2007, pick-up date. All
works accepted would have to be delivered by the artist on receiving

show instead of national juried show.

Message Clara Caldarone
has informed me that the Louis Bay Library exhibit hall is available
to our club members for future exhibits as a group. The auction
housed 48 paintings of various sizes and we had one short wall
that was absent of any paintings. It's very possible to fit 50
to 55 paintings. This space is booked up until May '06 and only
September"06 thereafter. The months in between are being
offered. Please contact me if you are interested. We can exhibit
for one month or two months at one time. You can reach me at
(201) 818-4103. Despite the rainy weather and lower than anticipated attendance, the auction was successful with a total of 16 paintings sold collecting $2,720.00. We also collected $270.00 cash from bid ticket sales and door prize ticket sales. We grossed $2,990.00. After expenses, we should net just under $2,700.00. Thank you to all members who donated 48 paintings for this event. The collection of works in this exhibit was exceptional and the reception gave a festive feel complimenting the time of year. Everything looked great. Perhaps with a stronger publicity campaign, the attendance would have been greater and more paintings sold. Food for thought for the next go around. Program We welcome back one of our favorite people. We have the eminent lecturer, Bartholemew D'Andrea, who will present the story of perhaps the greatest work of art in history created by an artist did not want to paint it. The story is just as fascinating as the painting itself. Bart will also speak on the other great masterpiece by Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel "The Last Judgment" Workshop

Please note the change in day and place of meeting. Meeting President's Message The Community Arts Association Student Scholarship was awarded to Philip Radujuko, graduating senior from Fort Lee High School. This award was presented June 11 at the Bergen County Cultural art show event held annually at Van Saun Park. Thank you Lorraine Strangfeld for your assistance in presenting this award. New Meeting Location starts September 13, 2005. As mentioned in prior newsletters and past few meetings, we have had to change our meeting location due to growing rental costs at Northern Highlands Regional High School. A number of factors were considered in making this change. Although we are a solvent club and can continue having monthly meetings with demonstrations and workshops, Northern Highlands annual rental costs kept climbing faster than we are capable of incurring new membership and fund raising. This past year alone the rent was $2,000.00. The cost for the new location will be approximately $595.00, a substantial savings for our club. Our new meeting venue will be at Archer United Methodist Church in Allendale, not far from the high school and closer to the center of town and Route 17. New Location: Archer United Methodist Church, corner of Franklin Turnpike and East Allendale Avenue, Allendale. Parking lot is on the Franklin Turnpike North side and left front of church. The meetings will be held in the hall attached to the church. There is a stage, making demo viewing more enhanced, tables and chairs and a kitchen just off to the right providing easy access for refreshments. Storage space for our cabinet and mirror is also available. New meeting day will be the second
Tuesday of the month, not the second Monday. Please make special
note of this change. A reminder will also be mentioned in the
September newsletter. Any questions, call Pat Rutkowski 201-818-4103. Program Penny did this presentation at our April 2005 meeting and many members asked for more so we are asking her to do a workshop which will expand on the very interesting method she presented. The cost will be $ 40.00 per person, plus $15.00 Materials cost. This will be in the Archer Church location, Allendale. 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM (You MUST call Rose Scaglione 845-323-4234 ASAP to sign up for this workshop) There will also be several one-day Saturday workshops available on a first come first served basis. These will be held in the Archer Church in Allendale, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM The following dates are tentative and the guest artists will probably be the demonstrating artist of that month. These details are still being worked out and you will get plenty of notice in time to sign up and plan your schedule.

Workshop News Since it may be due to the fact that many of our members work during the week, we are attempting to get artists for a few Saturday or Sunday workshops. Please call Rose Scaglione (845-323-4234) if you have an interest in attending a Saturday or Sunday workshop. If we don't get a reasonably good response we will not go forward with this idea. We are in the process of selecting demonstrators
and workshops for next year. We want to maximize participation,
so we are asking for your input. Please vote for one: Monthly Contest Membership Call for Artists The New Jersey Watercolor Society Annual Associate Members' Show will be presented at the Bernardsville Public Library, May 2-30, 2005.

Member News Frank Ferrante will be having a show at the William Ris Galleries in Stone Harbor, New Jersey starting on April 9, 2005. Sadly we have learned that Beall Rodgers
has passed away. Beall's painting, "Checkered Shirt"
was displayed in this year's show at the American Watercolor
Society" at the Salmagundi Club in New York. Beall's entry,
"Le Chef", won the Clara Stroud Memorial Award in the
prestigious 2003 American Watercolor Society Show at the Salmagundi
Club in New York. Discounts The Deadline for the
June Newsletter is May 25, 2005. Meeting Meeting Refreshments Sign-up: April, M. E. Whitehill; May, Mady Soukis, Joan Norelli. Thanks, everyone. President's Message After analyzing our annual expenditures,
our biggest expense is Northern Highlands rental which has increased
yearly by $500.00 or more. Our expense for this season is $2,000.00.
So, I've done some exploring and found a location nearby and
perhaps easier to find, Archer Church in Allendale located at
the corner of Franklin Turnpike and West Allendale Avenue. At
$50.00 a meeting vs. $200.00 we are now paying at Northern Highlands,
this opportunity is enticing. The adjustment will be meeting
on the second Tuesday of every month instead of the second Monday
of the month. Force of habit may cause members to make mistakes
at first, but in the grand scheme of things, change can make
a positive difference. There will be a definitive announcement
regarding this change in meeting venue in our next newsletters. Please contact Lanis Monfried at (201) 825-0538 if you can provide an appetizer or dessert for either our Friday evening Private Viewing, March 11 or the awards presentation on the following Sunday afternoon, March 13. We are in need of more refreshments and we seem to have a good reputation in providing good food thanks to our club member's great chef qualities. It must be because our club members create great art! In advance, I'd like to thank those who have volunteered their time to serve as monitor for the duration of this show. Mark your calendar for the Sunday Public Viewing and Award's presentation.

I thank Manfred Wegner with his assistance in setting up the screen, chairs and projector before the day of jurying.

These entries were from as far north as New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New York and as far south as Florida, North Carolina and many from New Jersey. We also received entrants from Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and as far West as California. Since we did not have a show in 2004, I am very pleased with this response for 2005. The accepted totals for the show are 100 pieces of artwork and 6 sculptures. Congratulations to all club members who were accepted in this show. Once again, I truly appreciate the commitment by club members assisting me with this effort. There were many great works both entered and accepted.

Program For this month's meeting we will have a panel discussion led by some of our members who are "Professional" meaning that they have taken the next step in their careers. They are in galleries, they show and sell their work through various means and some are now also teachers. If you are ready to take you next big step or if you would just like to learn how these members did it. Please join us. I promise you'll learn a lot and you will be encouraged to move ahead in your career as an artist. We'll also be discussing how to enter shows, what works, what doesn't, etc. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and we'll have a good turnout.
