Director
President's Column by Bob Mussay
COAL has long had a policy that stated if a category
has fewer than five entries it would be combined with
another category for the purposes of judging.
Members have expressed dissatisfaction with the
fairness of this; therefore, the board has decided to
keep the categories separate but award only a first
place ribbon in the smaller category (or none at the
discretion of the Judge).
We are looking for a volunteer to demonstrate at
our September demo because the scheduled artist is
unable to attend. Please note that this will be an
unpaid appearance, and could be an opportunity for
one of our teachers to show his or her technique and
possibly enroll some new students.
Also a big thank you to Rita Shulak for her generous
contribution to the Children’s Show and to Charles
Dozer for stepping up to make the Karlovy Vary
exchange a success.

Last but not least, it’s Fair time again and

deadline to enter is Friday April 24. - Bob Mussay
Memo by Charles Dozer
Members of Carlsbad Oceanside Art League(COAL):
Bruce Bartells, COAL Treasurer, "crunched the
numbers" and found that the greater number of
items sold at the Gallery were in the $20 dollar
range. The number of larger dollar items sold were
fewer. I concluded that COAL should consider
offering our member's art for sale in a Poster
format. Initially the plan is to have 16"x20" posters
designed and printed and displayed for purchase at
the Gallery. I already have 3-4 printers that are
interested in our offering. We selected this size
initially, because it can be easily "packed" for
traveling, displayed in sleeves but sold in a roller. I
am planning to hold a meeting in March, at the
Gallery, to further discuss the details of the offering.
If you are interested, please e-mail me at,
[email protected], as to what day of the
week and AM/PM is most convenient. Of course let
me know of your questions. Charles
Gallery Director's Column by Bernie Worby
Congratulations to the 6 artists and the 2 alternates
that were chosen for the show in Karlovy Vary. A lot of
great art was submitted last Monday and the day came
off quite seemlessly. Thanks to all who participated.
The new flood lights for the gallery were installed the
on the 4th. Many people have remarked on how bright
the gallery is now and how this light lends new brilliance
to the art. Thanks to John Lindhurst for spearheading
this effort.
Congratulations to Rita Shulak for having her painting
entitled "California the Beautiful" in a prestigious exhibit
held at the Omni Hotel, L Street Gallery. This is across
the street from the Convention center. Come one, come
all to the reception on April 11, 6 - 9 PM.
All opening sitters please call me at 760-295-7635
and if you do not reach me then call 760-672-5990.
The gallery is in need of 2 items. The first is a CD
player with a tuner/amp or a stand alone CD player.
The second is a an easel on which the sitters can
Page 2
display their art. If you have either of these items
please call me.
When you sell and replace cards or shrink wrap
and replenish your supply, the new items can only
be left in the racks until the end of your three
month period. At the conclusion of your three
month period, all your materials should be
removed.
Some sales over the past month have not been
recorded in the sales log. Please pay particular
attention to make sure all sales are recorded. Then,
please call the artist with the good news.
Thanks to everyone who submitted art and to all
the volunteers that make the gallery run efficiently.
You are a very professional and dedicated group of
people. It cannot be done without you....
EVERYONE is important!
The March show will be the 64th Annual
Members Award Show with take-in on March 2nd.

In May, the walls of COAL Gallery will again come alive with vibrant, creative works
by children in pre-school through 8th grade during our 21st Annual Children's Show.
Take-in for this year's show will be from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 2. The
show opens May 6, and will continue until May 30.
Age groups for entrants are:
• Pre-K (ages 4 and up);
• Kindergarten through Grade 2;
• Grades 3-5;
• Grades 6 through 8.
This year's categories are:
• Painting (watercolor, acrylic, oil);
• Drawing (pencil, pen and ink, scratchboard, pastel);
• Other 2-D (mosaic, mixed media, collage, photography, computer art);
• 3-D (fiber arts, sculpture, ceramics)
One piece of art can be submitted by individuals and must have been created at
home, during the last 12 months. Teachers of art--public and private--may submit 10
works by their students, created within the last 12 months. We request that teachers
vary the subject matter of entered pieces.
The maximum image size of art is 16" by 20." All art should be mounted on black
paper extending 1" around the art. Art can also be framed with a 1" mat, but because
of limited space, frames should be no wider than 1 1/2 inches.
