For those of you that couldn’t make the January meeting at Ken Patton’s home here is a shot of us in Ken’s studio. Mark Chapman also conducted a discussion on armature considerations and techniques for large installations.

Ken is a recently retired mechanical engineer who creates mesmerising kinetic art. His other interests include triathlons and serious hiking. By serious I mean hiking from Northern Oregon all the way to California!
February’s Annual Election Meeting was hosted by Marty Eichinger at his gorgeous East side gallery and studio.

Looks like a party but there was business conducted...honest!
Business included Treasurers report, election of officers, discussion of a juried portfolio, volunteer needs, future educational topic suggestions, shows, and artist calls. Surprisingly, there was not a single vote for holding board meetings at 9 AM in the morning ….
However, before and after the business there was ample food, wine, and conversation.
