Dec 98 - Jan 99
WORKSHOP TIME!!
The very interesting
listserver discussions on seeing a landscape with ones own eyes makes this an opportune
moment to make this announcement:
For many months, both the previous and the current Board have been trying to organize a
new IAAA Workshop in Iceland -- site of the meeting between western and then Soviet
artists ten years ago, in 1988 (and my first IAAA workshop -- an awesome experience, and I
mean it!). If you want the chance to see, sketch and photograph the kind of landscape that
Bill Hartmann so eloquently described (albeit in not such hot conditions, though Iceland
is nothing like as cold as its name implies, much like an English summer really...), this
is IT.
The dates have given us problems. As you know, there is a total solar eclipse in the
UK/Europe on 11 August 1999, the Apollo anniversary is in July, which many of you will
want to celebrate (though where better than the place the astronauts trained - ?). The
dates most favored are 28 Aug to 5 Sep 1999 (Sat to Sun), but we need to gauge the
interest from members in this. So please, if you would be interested in attending this
workshop, inform our chairman, Kara Szathmary at kbaszk@champlaincollege.qc.ca with a cc
to me at the address on the back cover as soon as possible. Results will be announced
shortly.
Yours - David A. Hardy
