PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Dear BAAA Members,
Welcome to 2016! New Year—New Beginnings.
Fifty two of us are getting ready to exhibit art at the Artful Healing Show
and that exhibit is quite important to the association. It is imperative to
put our best artistic foot forward at the University of Richmond again
this year. We need a lot of help to make the show work smoothly so I
encourage you to volunteer your assistance. We need all kinds of volun-
teers to hang work, wrangle patrons, make sales, and perform other
myriad tasks. It will be fun to have a part in this important BAAA pro-
ject. If you can help out, please call Lee Austin at 804-350-9305.
Our first meeting program of the new year promises to be a special one.
Stephen Doherty, editor of Plein Air Magazine, is doing a presentation.
It should be terrific. Join us on January 8th and enjoy the show and the
camaraderie.
Please remember to pay your 2016 dues if you haven’t already done so.
Send your check to Kathy Scott for $35 before January 15th. After that
date, there is a $5.00 late fee added.
See you in January.
