Artist Opporunity

posted Jan 15, 2011 9:54 AM by Marie Johannes

hoWdy!
This is Burton M. Lubitz of m51.com asking if anyone in your great community of artists
is interested in doing Sci-Fi related storyboards for a feature film?!?
The task is formidable, as the story takes place over a vast time span.
The images need not be detailed, just so they convey the idea of each scene.
Since the story has evolved over 40 years...there is NO rush to get started with the storyboards.
 
I want to thank Suzie from the Fraser library for giving me your website URL!!!
I expect the story will need several hundred images....and that is a very conservative estimate.
I think this would be quite elementary for one who can draw!
 
Extraterrestrially,
Burton
 
 

ART TREK -- an idea for Summer 2011 and Winter 2012

posted Oct 9, 2010 3:16 PM by Marie Johannes

Attached is an idea for a 2011 Summer long ART TREK. Several AOTA members have looked at this and thought it was a good idea. It would require several volunteers to work on, but no huge amount of time on anyone's part. In fact, the biggest effort needed would be the biggest benefit to our artists themselves.....to participate in the TREK, produce (more!) amazing works of art and show them to the public through our County Library system.  
 
A couple of meetings or phone conversations this winer could EASILY get this going next spring! Probably the most effort would be in coordination things with the libraries. Someone in AOTA involved with the libraries? If we get the libraries to embrace the idea, we could put together a unique Visual arts event for the entire county!
 
Take a look at this and let me know what YOU think.
 
 

WISH LIST

posted Sep 1, 2010 11:56 AM by Marie Johannes

AOTA Wish List--some things we could use some help with.....
 
    1) Members to put together a "program" for a meeting.....any special interest you have may be of
        interest to others. Share your passion with us. Speaker, dialog.....whatever..... Critique has been
         suggested and there may be some willing to work on this topic, but other art topics would interesting
         too. Contact info@artoutofthinair.com if you have an idea. We'll help you put it together!
    2) Fall Artists' Garage Sale:
            Donna has offered her barn and has lots of frames she doesn't want anymore; Marie inherited some
            instructional art books and has other stuff in her studio she isn't using.
            If someone would volunteer to put a little organization to this idea and work with Donna and
            Marie on it, they'll take care of sending out the emails and posting it on our website.
    3) Treasurer type person: We could use a person who likes numbers to work in this capacity. Most of
         this work could be done from home. There isn't much, really! Donna, Marie and Patty are signers
         on our checking account and can make deposits. We're not looking for that responsibility, but
         there are some other items that fall in this arena and we would love some help with them.
    4) Posting info on the website and sending emails. These are computer tasks that aren't too difficult.
        They can be done from the comfort of your home, so it doesn't really matter where you live and
        whether you drive at night in the winter or not! It's just one of those things that takes time and
         energy. Others would send you the info, text and material for distribution. You would just have to
         go to "Go Daddy" or our website and put the material there. We would train you. Interest in doing
         computer tasks is a must.

Something to talk about...

We're spread all over Grand County!  Sometimes two or three of us run into each other and start talking about ideas for our Art Out of Thin Air group. Sometimes those ideas never make it past that momment and perhaps we're losing some good ideas into "thin air"!
 
So this is a spot for posting and discussing your ideas for and about AOTA. It's an "Announcement" format page, so all you have to do to put your ideas out there or comment on someone else's idea is to click on the New post button, and place your ideas on the new area that comes up. It's very "user friendly".
 
ALSO, if you want to know when new ideas are posted to the bulletin Board, be sure to click on the "Suscribe to Posts" (next to the orange colored icon) button at the top of the page. When you register here and add this to your favorites you should see a highlighted banner item where you do your email whenever a new post has been added.
 
SO, Bulletin Board is my idea. What's yours?
 
Email info@artoutofthinair.com if you have any questions.
