HAP NEWS FROM: EILEEN BIGGS, TSA Member / HAP Liaison
If you are an artist who wants to sell your work and promote your career, I’d like to invite you to a meeting at my house this Sunday at 5 pm. Myself and Jan Ayers, both TSA members, are serving as liaisons to the Henderson Art Project. And this meeting is to inform you why H.A.P. is a great opportunity for you and TSA.
The Henderson Art project is a larger endeavor than one contest or one show, it is a venue to bring attention to local artists, create opportunities for them to promote their careers and sell their work. TSA promotes our organization and elevates the membership as leaders in the art community.
H.A.P. heART fundraiser is asking artists to donate work that is valued at $800 or more and will sell the work for a flat $400. The proceeds will be split between you, and the Richardson Humane Society. We will also be supporting EASL (Emergency Artist Support League). The goal is to raise $40k!
The April 29th, H.A.P. heART fundraiser and award ceremony will attract media attention and draw serious art collectors/buyers and enthusiasts. This event takes the conventional TSA membership show to another level. It provides a highly promoted platform, with quality exposure and a higher likely-hood that you will sell your work and network with collectors and dealers who support the arts. It is designed to support the artists!
If you’re serious about your art and looking for opportunities to promote your work, this is a meeting that is a must. We will meet this Sunday, March 14 at my house (Eileen Biggs) in Lakewood (address below) at 5pm to learn all about how to participate. The heART event needs volunteers to both staff the show and to donate/showcase their art. We hope you’ll join us and make this event a huge success!
Please RSVP to me (Eileen Biggs - eileen_texas@yahoo.com ) so I have a rough headcount for light snacks and refreshments...
Thank you.

Here is the latest info from Jeff Howle (building on Midway at I-635):
“Just a quick update......the excavation is complete, steel has been fabricated, forms are being set for the concrete & if it will ever dry out enough to pour concrete, we will be calling for inspections from the city & complete the pads for the sculpture.
Ben has looked at some other installations & has come up with a great idea for anchoring the sculpture to the pads.
I will keep you posted as we make progress.
Regards, Jeff 214-802-8008”

2010 TSA Pot Luck Social –

What a great turnout! Thanks to all who attended and thanks to the volunteers who stayed for cleanup.
The Board members for this year were announced:

Andrew Bachenheimer, President
Nan Phillips, Past President
Cassandra Fink, Vice President (and President Elect for 2011)
Stephen Potter, Treasurer
Deanna Hinchcliff, Secretary
Robin Gary, Membership Chair; Publicity
Eva Hemmi, Social Chair
Cynthia Daniel, Board Member
Lottie Minick, Board Member
Shelley Kolman-Smith, Board Member
The President gave a short speech, regarding some of what TSA was doing for our members and asked, in return, that more members volunteer to serve on committees.

Shows for Your Art:
One member, at the Pot Luck Social, volunteered to be the first person acting as TSA liaison with the Henderson Art Project. With one or two more volunteers, we can have a full committee working to maximize the mutual benefit of a working partnership between TSA and HAP. If you want to be part of this high-profile project, contact Andrew Bachenheimer at: bachassoc@aol.com

Don't worry, this will not be the only committee and you will have an opportunity to serve on other forthcoming projects. The TSA Board, alone, cannot effectively handle all the projects that will benefit our members. The Board will suggest other projects in the coming months, and will then depend upon some of you, our members, to lend a hand and to make suggestions.

One member suggested that we have a TSA Art Fair at which we can have a couple of days to sell our art. Sounds like a great idea, but it can’t happen without your help. If you are interested in helping to make this happen, please contact Eva Hemmi at: eghemmi@hotmail.com .
