Winter Members Challenge
BOXED-IN
It's time to think inside the box. We all have memories or items from our favorite person, place or thing. If you could house your things-thoughts-feelings in a box, what would it look like? Who or what would you honor? Using a cigar box, shoe box or any box-like container (no bigger than 8x10x4-ish) pay homage to a person, place or thing that has special meaning for you.
Bring your box to the December 5, 2024 General meeting for display. Prizes will be awarded.
Winter Post Card Exchange!
Ready for another postcard exchange? Our Winter Postcard Exchange for PaperWorks members runs from December through February.
The commitment is to send one card to each of the three names you will receive. Of course, you are welcome to send more. Since there are holidays in December, January, and February, many people choose to use holiday themes. But anything goes! Postcards can be any size and medium.
Sign up by email until December 5 at postcards@paperworks.info. PLEASE include your mailing address in your email message. Thank you so much for your attention and participation. It saves Sue a lot of time organizing the exchange.
Sign-up forms will also be available at our December 5 meeting.
You’ll receive your three names right after the December meeting. Postcards will be featured in a slideshow at the March meeting! Happy postcarding!

Why Set Up A Gallery Page?
Some exhibit curators will be using our gallery for their jury process.Gallery pages are one place the Exhibits chair looks to see artists’ work. The Exhibits chair often uses the gallery artists pages to find artists willing to submit images for exhibits and promotional information. (flyers, evites and press.)All art media is acceptable on our PaperWorks gallery pages… in fact, a variety of media is most welcome!If you are a new Artist ready to go public, setting up a gallery page saves time and expense over setting up your own website.Your gallery page increases the overall quality of PW members and a professional presentation. Work from the gallery is used to highlight individual members’ artwork on our website homepage.
Are you a PaperWorks member? If you would like your original art to appear in the gallery, please fill out the form below and request your work be placed in the Gallery. Artists already in the Gallery are encouraged to submit recent work. Any type of art is appropriate for the Gallery, not just paper.
