The CFWS 2020-21 season presented a number of challenges. How to remain relevant to our members, how to fulfill our mission, how to plan for the future.? ZOOM made our meetings possible by providing the means for members to gather while remaining safe, ZOOM made it possible for demos to continue.. These online demos proved to be more informative and beneficial than the in-person demos had been in the past. We were also able to adjust and hosted our Juried Show in March and we offered educational workshops using the remote format. Thankfully we are turning the corner on the pandemic and a return to normal. What we don’t know is when that will be and what “normal’ will now look like.Your board recently met to discuss this ‘new normal’ and plan for the upcoming 2021-22 season. It was decided that we will continue with the format of using ZOOM in September, October and November with online demos by accomplished artists. Vice President Richelle Siska will work during the off season to book these artists. She welcomes suggestions from the members, email her with suggestions. we are planning our traditional holiday party to be held December 2. An in-person meeting! Details will be posted in the calendar when confirmed and an email will be sent. Much depends upon unknown circumstances so January, February and March meetings will also be held online with demos presented.Our Annual Juried Show will be scheduled for March 2021 dates and our show committee is currently working out the details. But, we will be accepting paintings through most of December so break out the brushes. You will be notified of the cut-off date and submission will be online.The Board recognizes the importance of the social need that has been missed and is looking into making available scheduled gatherings in lieu of our monthly meetings. “CFWS LIVE” will take the form of activities where all can safely gather and enjoy networking and making new friends. As these party pop-ups are confirmed, you will be notified via email or look to the website for dates and details.And, Plein Air sessions will be scheduled monthly. These are a great opportunity to meet outdoors and share time with fellow members. Your continued membership makes possible these activities during the season.
