First Wednesday - Small Group Artist Connect

Last night (May 2, 2012) was the 3rd installment of AiA's First Wednesday - Small Group Artist Connect.

This event has been taking place at the Governor's Cup, 471 Court Street Northeast  Salem, OR 97301.

This week we started at 7:30 pm and over the period of the evening I am guessing at least 30 AiA members and friends showed up to sit down in a very informal format to talk about their art and to share their art with the group. Several members brought their portfolios and one or two members brought some of their original art.

I really want to thank AiA Board Member, Kristin Blix for all her hard work putting together this very worthwhile and successful project. As I have mentioned before I see the Small Group Artist Connect as the primary outreach to AiA members and the community.

I want to thank all the folks that showed up and helped make this successful. I also want to thank the staff at the Governor's Cup for taking care of us. We actually stayed about 15 minutes past closing and the staff was very understanding. ;-)

If Small Group Artist Connect keeps growing "we are going need a bigger boat"!

Thanks again to everyone!

NEW AIA BULLETIN BOARD FEATURE

If you look under ANY Bulletin Board Category you will notice that ALL postings now have a facebook and Twitter "button" at the bottom of the posting. This allows ANY VISITOR to post an individual AiA Bulletin Board posting to their facebook and/or Twitter feed.

When you click on either the facebook or Twitter button a popup window will appear where you can login into your facebook or Twitter account. Then you will see an excerpt of how the posting will appear on your facebook or twitter feed and also the opportunity to "Write Something..." Click the "Share Link" button and your done.

Please "test drive" this new feature and start sharing all kinds of great AiA Bulleting Board information with the rest of your world!
