Moves Afoot
Moves Afoot: Supplementary History of the Waikato Society of Arts 1983-2008, written by Megan Lyon and supervised by Ann McEwan, was launched at the 75th Celebration Dinner. Moves Afoot is a hand made artist's book designed by Alan Ware and Meliors Simms. For a description of the making of the book go to Meliors's blog for August 26. We are grateful to the sponsors and all members who made their archives available to Megan. Rob Gardiner of Chartwell Trust sponsored the publishing of the book as an artist book and the writing of the history was sponsored by Trust Waikato. The book retails for $45 and for members is costs $30.
The WSA Business Membership Launch
This year WSA is celebrating its 75th anniversary with exhibitions and events throughout the year. The first major event is the Waikato Museum exhibition, “The Action Front: 75 years of Art from the Waikato Society of Arts”. The exhibition runs to 4 October 2009. Another celebratory event is the production of Campbell’s Smith play, “This Green Land” at the Waikato Museum 23-25 of July. Throughout the year there will also be other exhibitions, openings, speakers, workshops, and a celebration dinner.
In addition to the celebration events, we have launched the WSA Business Membership.
This initiative was the brainchild of former WSA president Brenda Sayers and fulfills the aim of creating art connections between WSA and other sectors of the community.
Many in the business community are interested in supporting the arts and the WSA has established the business membership category to meet this need.
Please have a look at the Business Membership Brochure. (PDF)
