Dear MATA Members,

Hello everyone! Hope your summer was great. We are gearing up for our annual membership drive and soon after our fall show. We welcome you to join us again for another exciting year and hope that you can help recruit new members as well.

We are happy to announce a new spin on our fall show by opening it up to all media and giving it a theme. This year's theme is Small Work, Landscape. (The show's prospectus was send out earlier this summer and is available on our website.) Show entry forms will be available soon.

We are also partnering with ArtsECO and plan to do a workshop meet and greet in February. We would like to continue their support of new arts educators and hopefully be able to network with them to show support as their careers advance.

We once again have booked the downtown pubic library for our spring show. Building on last year's success, we hope to have another great turn out, selling pieces as well as getting the MATA name out and a little more well known.

And finally, MATA continues to promote member programs, such as gallery openings / shows, workshops, and other social art meetings.

​Join us for another great year of art making and fun!

Jodi Brzezinski
