Treasurer’s Report: Treasurer Linda Lippert reported a balance of $3,445.21 in the Guild’s checking account, A reimbursement had been made to Linda Libby for purchasing a new box of PBG ID cards to be used by members on their paintings in shows. Linda also reported that she signed the contract with the First Presbyterian Church of Littleton and paid rent for the months of April and May 2021 for the Guild to use Ficklin Hall for the Wednesday paint days at the church. At this time we are limited by the Governor’s office due to Covid restrictions, to a group of no more than 15 people, and masks must be worn. Linda purchased items that we were running low on (related to hanging shows) to our Guild’s tool box that needed to be replenished.
Committee Reports:
Membership - Monique Moore said that there are 36 active members. Linda Lippert gave information about our Guild to a prospective member, Chris Connelly, while hanging the show at the Philip Miller Library. Suzanne, who monitors the PBG Gmail account daily (OurPaintBoxGuild@gmail.com), will be on the lookout for this person as well as any prospective people wanting information on our Guild.
Workshops - Pat Dall will contact the artist who wishes to give us an online workshop in acrylics and using a credit card for texture relative to setting up a link for this..
Exhibits - Linda Libby. The show at the Philip S. Miller Library in Castle Rock was hung April 5 by our volunteers Joan Close has already sold a painting the first day. Linda Lippert who handled the hanging reported that Patty Handby (from the Library) mentioned that they appreciated our prices were affordable. Linda thanked those volunteers that had hung this show as there were many paintings and it was a big time consuming job. This show will be up until May 21, 2021.
The Denver Community Credit Union exhibition will be removed April 29th between 9-10:00 am.
Atlas Coffee Shop - at 117 West Ken Caryl Avenue. The hanging will be coordinated by Merrie Wicks. This is a miniature show with no painting larger than 8 X 10”. Only those members that signed up initially will be able to hang paintings.
Atlas Coffee Shop - at 6504 South Broadway. We will be the first art group to show at this venue (formerly Solid Grounds Coffee Shop). Send Linda Libby an email if you wish to hang a piece in this show. She requires the artist’s name, title of piece, medium, price, and SIZE OF PAINTING. We will only be hanging in what was the downstairs part of that facility. Smaller pieces allow more space for paintings. They are talking about putting in a hanging system for paintings in that room.
KEEP YOUR EXHIBIT CALENDAR HANDY TO BE AWARE OF UPCOMING DATES!
Fredia Cox REPORTED THAT THE SHOW AT CASTLE ROCK ADVENTIST, AT 2350 Meadows Parkway is open to staff and not the general public during Covid times. The doors to that hallway are closed. If someone wants to see the paintings, a person from their front desk will escort them to the Healing Arts Exhibit. Thank you Sue Williams for helping transport and hanging the show with Mary Williams.

Summer Plein Air Painting - Merrie Wicks and Maria Bouziane. It was discussed and voted on that we would schedule our paint outs one month at a time (rather than the whole summer).

Old Business - New Business
The committee for Guild officers met to propose that the same slate of officers and committee persons from last year be extended to this year. It was passed unanimously by the group.
Linda Lippert proposed that we will have our business meeting again in April via Zoom. In May we will try to meet at an outdoor venue (weather permitting). Donna stated that she has the “magic microphone” at her house and will bring it the next time we have a business meeting in person. Beginning April 14 Linda Lippert said we can have our Wednesday paint days at the church but can only have a group of 10 of us (per the Governor’s orders), so you need to make a reservation with Linda if you want to come paint with the group. First come, first served. Linda will meet with Elinor, the church secretary to sign a contract and pay rent for April and May.
Meeting was adjourned by Roseann Gomez, and seconded by Maria Bouziane.
