the month, leaving one spot available.
It was restated that if a member has a health issue, that person will be
given a one year grace period from all requirements required to maintain
an active membership.
If a member requires a replacement of his/her name tag there is a cost.
Check with Richard for details.
​

The last hanging for our group until the Fall, is at Columbine Library in July.
Please check the PBG website for further directions….Fredia Cox is in
charge of this show.
Zing Credit Union is updating its art presence. They will have an “Art Wall
Walk”. PBG has been asked to hang a show from October-December
2025.
If you are picking up a piece of art that belongs to a different artist, PLACE
YOUR INITIALS in the box for the pick up. The committee needs to know
WHO picked up that painting, not who painted the piece.Tabled for further discussion: Beth and Linda strongly suggested we have
a committee look into the idea of having a group established for each
installation before its hung. There would be a different group ready to
handle the drop off, installation and take down of that exhibit.
Also, each member would give information about the painting to hang in
the exhibit (title, artist’s name, medium, price and contact phone number)
before check in. All information would be put into a spread sheet and the
artist would just have to check in at the venue, all of the paperwork is done
ahead of time.
