The advantage of the “new” newsletter
is first, we can finally enjoy a color newsletter and second,
we’re saving trees and ATA’s financial resources. (For
members who do not have access to the internet, a black and white
edition will be copied and mailed for a period of time.) As we all make
adjustments and get accustomed to using the website, I hope
you’ll let me know your thoughts. In this same vein, please make
certain we have your current email address so we can communicate with
you more frequently about upcoming programs -- we plan to use email
where possible, again, to save our resources for programming. Update
your email address on the website at Members Only - what could
be simpler?
ATA Member Services Group
As Director of the Member Services Group, I want to
introduce you to your committee chairs:
Priscilla Lynch (jplynch@iserv.net) is the chair of ATA’s Education Committee. The
job of this committee is twofold; to assist members who would like to
improve their tapestry skills and to address the public in developing
an appreciation for tapestry. The Education Committee will:
• introduce mentoring
programs and develop ATA
sponsored regional
workshops;
• develop a list of
college and university tapestry
programs;
• research institutional
fiber collections to identify tapestry
holdings; and
• make presentations to
architects and designers about
collaborations with
tapestry artists.
Presently, Priscilla and Ruth Manning are
developing the program for the Chicago Retreat next March.
Monique Lehman (lehman@artcenter.edu) chairs the Exhibitions Committee that, in addition to
Biennial 5, will focus on increased exhibition opportunities for ATA
members. Monique is looking for volunteers to help ensure another
successful Biennial.
