Donna Slinkard LETTER FROM YOUR NEW PRESIDENT: Dear Friends and Members, Here we are at the shortest month of the year and according to one almanac it is the last of the winter months. We should tell our Montana friends this, as for them it might be May. Anyway, although it is a short month the days are getting longer and I am sure that many of us are working on our Spring Show projects. Also, this month we don’t have a regular meeting but we do have a fun breakfast where everyone will bring something to share. What a fun time. See you in March.
Deanna Deanna Magdich, President

[email protected] or 423-653-8868. GALLERY/EXHIBITS COMMITTEE: Vera B, Twyla M ►2020 MEMBER THEMED EXHIBITS:
Open to all Art Guild members, no additional entry fees. Themed art exhibits are a great way to get a range of artists
from the local community / guild to exhibit their work together.
Not only does it provide established artists with an event to
present their work, but it also gives up-and-coming artists the opportunity to enter the art world.
JUNE 2020 – MEMBER’S MOSAIC Artwork created on 4”x4” (¾” or 1 3/8” depth) stretched cotton /
linen wrapped canvas in any medium. The 4x4 inch canvases will be displayed together to create a mosaic artwork. Mosaic is
a picture or pattern produced by arranging together small
colored pieces of material. Canvases will be affixed to the
gallery wall with Velcro, provided by the exhibits committee.
Members provide their own canvas. Limit one canvas per
member. Member’s Mosaic entries are exempted from sales,
display limits, and the gallery wire requirement.

JULY 2020 – PATRIOTIC - having or expressing devotion
to and vigorous support for one's country. This theme
incorporates artwork (in any medium) that is inspired by your
country. National colors, icons and flag could be used as
inspiration. Cultural identification could also be an excellent
starting point. SEPT 2020 – WOMEN’S SUFFRAGE CENTENNIAL -
This theme incorporates artwork (in any medium) that is
inspired by the 100th anniversary of Women’s Suffrage (right to
vote). Passed by Congress June 4, 1919, and ratified on August
18, 1920, the 19th amendment granted women the right to vote.
Achieving this milestone required a lengthy and difficult
struggle; victory took decades of agitation and protest. Themed Exhibits will be on display for one month only. One
wall of the large gallery with accompanying floor space and a
designated glass display case or a portion of a wall, floor, & case
will be reserved to display the Themed Exhibits. Gallery space
will be determined by the number of submissions. Themed
Exhibits will follow all Gallery Display Guidelines including
monthly display limits and the normal gallery artwork in/out
schedule. Monthly display limits: Members may exhibit up to 5 pieces of
artwork depending on the size measurements, including the
frame, measurements equal the top and one side of the frame.
ONE LARGE 51”- 72”, TWO MEDIUM 50”- 25” AND TWO
SMALL UP TO 24”. WAYS & MEANS : John A. & Karin H. FOOD CITY COMMUNITY CASH PROGRAM: John A. will be selling FOOD CITY CASH CARDS at all board
and membership meetings and at First Friday’s. Checks should
be made out to the Art Guild. See page 6 for more information.

PROMOTION & PUBLICITY : Jane H. & Linda C. ►The Publicity Committee has changed leadership with Linda
Carr and Jane Harding as Co-coordinators. This change builds
on a solid group of writers who have continued to perform in
2020. The Committee recently met at Linda's home to socialize and to determine priorities. Most writers will continue the
duties they did in 2019 with the exception of Pat Freed. Pat was
the committee coordinator in 2019. She will be freed (no pun
intended) up to develop fabulous ads and posters in 2020. Since Jane will continue to post items on the Art Guild's
Facebook page, she is requesting any photos that you might take
during classes and events be forwarded on to her. The coverage
on FB continues to grow and with your help, it will go farther.
PCAC MANAGEMENT: Paul H. ► Paul Howson is now head of PCAC Management. Grounds: Howard Robb will continue in 2020 to provide the
care of the physical grounds. Sculpture Trail: Myra Tatarowicz will continue to coordinate
the sculpture trail in 2020. Jean Liberty and Paul are on the
committee. Continued work is being done to follow through
with the 2020 sculpture dedicated to children. ► We’re in the process of organizing our newly remodeled
“John Michael Kitchen”. Sign placed above kitchen entrance. WELCOME “ARTiE”: John H. Your Classroom Assistant ARTiE, short for ART In Electronics,

Remembering Joe Macpherson By Charlotte Plummer
My good friend Joe Macpherson
passed away on January 4, 2020,
at his home, with his loving daughter
Molly at his side. Joe was 95 years old and had packed a lot of living into those
years. We met four years ago when Joe joined the Art Guild, and
it’s been my privilege to know him ever since. Even though he was
not an artist, Joe enjoyed and appreciated all types of art displayed
at the Plateau Creative Arts Center. He also enjoyed the AG
members and was friendly to all. You may remember when Joe received a “Quilt of Valor” at the
AG in 2016. The Quilt was presented to Joe by the Fantastic
Quilters of FFG and QOV, as a tangible way for all of us to say
“thank you for your service, sacrifice, and valor.” Joe Macpherson
served, protected and defended our country during two wars. His
first wartime tour of duty was in Europe
during WWII as part of the 25th
Cavalry (reconnaissance)
Squadron that led Patton’s famed 4th
Armored Division through
critical battles, including several in Alsace Lorraine and the Battle
ofthe Bulge in Bastogne, Belgium. Later, Joe went back into
service in the Korean War as a Tank Platoon Leader. He was a
true Patriot! I was always fascinated with Joe’s tales of the extraordinary events
in his life. Joe's wonderful intellect led him to earn several
university degrees in Business Education (BS), Library Science
(MLS) and History (MA & PhD). For several years Joe taught at
various universities throughout the U.S. It was amazing to learn
that he was a Fulbright Scholar, which allowed him to travel
the world. What a meaningful life he led! In addition, Joe was
kind person and a joy to know.
