Arty News - July Newsletter
Taupo Art Connection is an inclusive arts group formed to bring independent Taupō
region visual artists together. From the professional to the enthusiastic hobbyist, from painters to sculptors and printmakers, the group provides the opportunity for artists and art lovers to socialise, network, share and encourage each other creatively. The group represents a commitment to creating a vibrant, active arts community that benefits artists and ensures a fulfilling arts experience for visitors to the region.
W ELCOME TO OUR JULY NEWSLETTER
It's not easy to say goodbye, but after nine months of hard work the following committee members are not seeking re-election Robbie Graham (Chairperson), Lew Graham (Treasurer), Judith Alexander-Graham (Secretary), Jo Rankin (Committee member) and Rod Rankin (Co-opted Committee member).
As you know the current committee put themselves forward and were elected at the SGM in November 2018. Their actions were motivated by a determination to see the Queen's Birthday Weekend Art Trail survive and thrive - which they did in spades - delivering one of the most successful art trails yet. However as busy artists with family obligations they are unable to continue as committee members going into the 2019 -2020 year.
To continue, we will need members to put their names forward for the committee. We have indications of support from two eligible members , but we need at least two or three more! Can you help?
To be eligible to be nominated for the Taupō Art Connection Inc committee, a person must be a financial member of Taupō Art Connection Inc. To become a financial member you must complete a member application form and have your application approved by the committee pursuant to Taupō Art Connection Inc rule 12.3 . The deadline to submit an application to become a member ( if you are interested in standing for the committee) is 4pm August 1, 2019 as the final committee meeting prior to the AGM will take place at 5.30pm on this date.
