general meeting

The indomitable Harriet Fe Bland talked for two hours straight without a break. Flanked by the two Rays, (Weinstein and Shanfeld) Harriet bravely ran down every detail of our shortcomings and goings. Here are a few highlights:

We need a logo.
We have never had a logo. (I know I thought we did too) There will be a contest amongst the members to design a logo incorporating “ASCA”, “American Society of Contemporary Artists”, and “Founded in 1917″.

The winner will receive the honor of having their logo used in everything ASCA.

Do You Want To allow Photographers in to ASCA?
It was stated at the meeting by some forward thinking individual that they are actually allowing photographers in to Museums nowadays. Gasps from the crowd. Do you want them in our shows. What next digital art? Are we going to hell in a handbasket or proudly marching in to the future? Talk amongst yourselves.

What Day Do You Want the next General Meeting On?
What time? No Holiday weekends please.

Your Name on an Award
For just three hundred dollars (Maybe 200) you too can have your name pop up on the internet as the name of an award given at our show. It’s a bargain at any price.

Grant Writers reveal yourself
Does anyone know how to write a grant? How about getting some money for ASCA so we can rent exhibition space.

The great $350 sale
Did you rake in the dough at the atrium? Here’s your chance to do it right. Get on the committee and arrange to have sellers at the three day event to sell your art for next to nothing.

See yourself on Television
Well this wasn’t actually discussed at he meeting because there wasn’t time. I brought in a tv and footage of the new ASCA film including an interview with Honey Kassoy. A few hardy souls who were still awake at the end of the meeting stayed to watch Honey and others share their inner thoughts on art, life, and whats good and bad about ASCA. there is still room for a couple of more artists on the first part of this extensive documentary film so call me Stephen Beveridge 212 928 8351. Btw My interviewer David Ferrando will be applying to ASCA so if you come across his stuff during your service on the admittance committee make sure you vote him in.
