Saco Bay Artists will have a retrospective exhibit at the Saco Museum October 16 - November 7, 2015. This will be an opportunity to show both older and more recent work. It will be interesting to see how your work has changed over the years. Tentative plans include: - Applications for this show due by August 1, 2015. We will have the application available sometime this winter. You will be able to submit up to six pieces for consideration. Depending on how many apply, we may not be able to hang all six of your pieces, but will definitely hang at least two. - Opening reception will be Friday, October 16, 2015 and will include a celebration of our 20 year history. - Do you know someone who once was a member of SBA? Please give their names to Kathy Angel Lee (937-2125), Robert Dunn (282-6407), Sylvia Orchard (934-7712), Evelyn Moreshead (934-0709) or Betty Shore (934-3408). We would like to contact previous members to participate in this show. - Do you know someone who once was a member, but has died. Maybe a family member or friend has some of their work. We would like to commemorate those former members who have passed away by showing a piece of their work. - We will need someone to go over old membership lists to develop a list of former members to contact. - If anyone is interested in presenting a program, we do have that option during the exhibit period. This celebration gives an opportunity to recognize our artists and what Saco Bay Artists has done over the years within the communities. Please share any stories you might have that would help with our celebration. Editors Ramblings I have missed you all!! Life has “gotten in the way” of my art and aside from a few days when my husband and I were out in our row boats, my photography has had to take a back seat this year. I hope to be able to rejoin the summer shows again next year, it sounds like things went well for our most recent shows! I have included one of my special captures from our full moon outing during the August Super Moon. Too Beautiful for Words by Wendy Barrett Page 3 NEW—Call for Art!
