Mini Miniatures Show: Call for Entry

We have a great opportunity to be part of an in-person show and pop-up sale this December. The Arts at Marks Garage is trying something new to showcase Hawaii arts and artists in an innovative format for the holidays. For each of the first three weeks of December, a different group will sponsor an exhibit of miniatures and WAG has the first week (Dec. 2-8) for our “Mini Miniatures Show,” featuring 2D work up to 80 sq. in. and 3D work up to 10 in. on the longest dimension. The great news is that there is no entry fee for all current paid members, and you are welcome to join us for just this show (http://windwardartistsguild.org/joinrenew/). Deadline is November 17. You can show up to 3 pieces and replace any that are sold. There will be a Pop-Up sale on Saturday and Sunday where you can offer prints, small originals, arts & crafts, etc. in addition to the show art. See the prospectus for all the details: WAG-Mini-Miniature-Show-at-Arts-at-Marks-Garage-2021-ProspectusDownload We're looking forward to seeing you and your art in this new venue and format. Thank you!Liz CorbinShow Chair

Call for Entry: Windward Artists Guild 61st Annual Member Show Prospectus

  • Comments Off on Call for Entry: Windward Artists Guild 61st Annual Member Show Prospectus

Aloha WAG members! We are still facing shortages of display space on Oahu including our traditional venue of Ho'omaluhia, which is not open, so we are going online at least once more with a show that will be much like our 2020 shows, and the date of posting will be November 5, thus the deadline to enter is October 25, 2021. The good news is that our past online shows were viewed by a lot of people, not just those on Oahu, and the resulting sales were equal to our best and exceeding many of our usual in-person shows. I have no hesitation in urging you to participate. Best of all, the show is free to members, and you are welcome to join just for this show. WAG membership is $30, but if you already paid your membership for 2021, there is no entry fee, just a commission of 15% for any sales made through the site. The cost of putting on a show like this is minimal. That means the majority of proceeds go to support educational projects such as our grants to teachers and the popular Adventist Health Castle virtual class series. You may display up to 4 pieces. Please see all details by downloading the prospectus here: Prospectus-for-WAG-2021-Online-Members-Show-rev2Download

Watch for WAG Member Show Online

We miss our physical shows but are actively planning for 2022! Here is a look back at 2019 and our 59th annual member show... In light of continuing concerns for COVID, we are planning to have our 61st annual member show online. It is free to all WAG members and our views and sales last year were very good so it will be a worthwhile endeavor for our artist members. We are glad to be able to offer this show digitally until we can schedule something in person. We have been discussing options for 2022 in the hopes we can welcome our new members face to face. There is nothing like hanging a show together for teaching new artists how to put together a professional presentation, but this is the best alternative under the circumstances with our usual venue still closed. We thank each and every one of our members for supporting the educational goals of WAG. We have been very active especially with digital education in conjunction with Adventist Health Castle and the wellness program. It is the volunteer efforts of our board and support of our membership that helps make programs like this possible! Mahalo!

Site Makeover in Progress!

WAG's site has looked more or less the same 2014 - 2020, but for 2021 we are adjusting it a little to reflect all the design changes that have happened in the past 7 years. The physical entity of the site has also moved around behind the scenes, finally attaining a level of independence that it has never had before, so this is the perfect time to celebrate by giving it a makeover. Don't worry - all the archives and subdomains will be here. Please bear with us as we re-upload, move, and spruce up the site. For the next few days, parts of the site may not be uploaded yet. If you notice anything not functioning correctly after April 8, 2021, please email us to let us know that you have found an error and we will fix it and notify you that it has been repaired. Thank you!

MEET THE JUROR OF OUR 2020 ONLINE SHOW : CARMEN GARDNER

WAG is turning 60 this year, so we are gearing up for a special show to celebrate this landmark. 2020 Online Show: 60 years of WAG will be an online show since many local venues are shut down. Online shows do have certain advantages. They are easier to share with friends and family who live far away, and they don't have to be taken down rapidly to share a finite physical space. Sales can be more easily facilitated by e-commerce. Lastly, anyone who is comfortable with technology can help select awards, no matter where they live. We have taken this opportunity to seek a juror from the neighbor islands. Accomplished Maui watercolor artist and teacher Carmen Gardner has agreed to select awards for us. Please see her artist bio sheet here, listing her many awards and professional highlights: Carmen-Gardner-BioDownload Also, please visit her website to see her beautiful art and learn more: www.carmengardner.com We are excited to offer this show to our members! You may download the prospectus here: WAG-2020-Online-Show-ProspectusDownload
