TAGlin esWinter 2009

Greetings,After a year of what seemed like constantmotion, our reflections on events at The ArtGuild include the many exhibits, classes, pro-grams, plus improvements made to the build-ing. Any mention of these accomplishmentsmust, of course, include recognition of themany Guild members who selflessly donatedtheir time and skills so that others could participate in the various activities offeredthis past year. The Art Guild is an all volun-teer organization, so thank you to those whohelped out! Please join us in making The ArtGuild a special place. Perhaps you might findtime during 2010 to serve on a committee orhelp out at an upcoming event.

This past year, The Art Guild held eightexhibits in the Gallery at Elderfields. We espe-cially thank Gallery Chair, Madeline Meryashfor organizing and overseeing the open juriedshows and members exhibits. We also thankeach Exhibit Chair (Myra Fox, Randy Kraft,Piper Lyman, Madeline Meryash, EileenNeville, Ellen Hallie Schiff, Steven Silberstein,Barbara Silbert, Susan Tiffen and MarioTucci) as well as those who assisted for yourhard work! The resulting exhibits have beenoutstanding. Also a huge success, the popularMembers’ Exhibit, Works’09 was held at theGraphic Eye Gallery last August. Be sure tolook inside for news and photos from theexhibits.

Once The Art Guild was established atElderfields, we began developing an arteducation program for children and adults.With classes continuing to grow, we thankBarbara Stein and Barbara Silbert for organ-izing and setting up the initial program. Thisyear we will offer a five week Winter Sessionbeginning in January, followed by a ten weekSpring Session starting in March. Our mem-bers’ lecture series have been very wellattended, as were the free art workshopsoffered at Art in the Park during HarborFestlast June. We look forward to continuing tooffer quality classes and lectures to ourmembership and the community.

Begun last August, construction on theADA Bathroom is close to completion. Soonwe will begin plans for an accessible ent ra n ce-way as well as outdoor lighting for the park-ing lot and signs on Port Washington Blvd.These projects are funded through theN a ssau Co u nty 2006 Env i ro n m e ntal Bond Ac t.

We also thank Legislator Wayne Wink for allocating additional funds from theCommunity Revitalization Program. Otherrenovations completed this past year includefinishing off the 3rd floor to accommodateadditional studio space; replacement of thecentral air conditioning unit; and to improvethe classroom area, the kitchen ceiling wasremoved, lighting was added and the Steinfamily painted the space.

Lastly, we cannot forget the peoplebehind the scenes who tirelessly contributeto the Guild on an ongoing basis. For printdesign and PR we thank Piper Lyman. Forediting of our newsletter, TAGlines, we thankShelley Holtzman. Our appreciation also goesto Susan Tiffen for updating the web site, andhouse manager, Mario Tucci. We also thankJean-Marie Posner for serving as Treasurerfor the past two years, and outgoing boardmembers Aaron Morgan, Barbara Stein, MarioTucci, and Tani Waheed for their service toThe Art Guild.
