NORTHERN MINES 27TH ANNUAL ART SALE AND EXHIBIT
OCTOBER 19H THROUGH NOVEMBER 14TH, 2010
Northern Mines 2009 Best of Show
Ernie Demeter “Western Landscape”
Juror: Chris Hayman
Hi everyone:
The Northern Mine Committee met this week and we got a lot accomplished. I hope the
prospectus will be done and printed in time for the June general meeting. So you can all plan
your paintings. Best of show will be awarded $400.00 and first place will be awarded $125.00,
second will be a named prize for our sponsors, and third is a ribbon.
We have decided to do a Green Fund raiser for this show and we need to ask the membership
for their help. The plan so far is to ask you all to donate your recyclable cans and bottles to the
fund. We have not finalized yet how we will get these to the recycling center, so I will have to let
you know how this will happen. (If anyone has a brainstorm on this let me know.)
I am letting you all know about it though so that you can start collecting now. It will take at
least 30 garbage cans full to give us the minimal money we need. So please start saving, ask your
neighbors for theirs if you like. I have asked my kids for theirs because I do not drink soda or
beer and I have a water filtration system I use for drinking water. So I only get a can a year if I
have lots of company with cans and bottles. So please save your cans and bottles with
redemption value.
I would like to give a special thanks to all who have volunteered to help put this show
together. They all have a lot of organizational skills and energy. So thank you all.

Upcoming ..... June Speaker
Carolyn Ivey-Cone is a media producer and consultant with over twenty years of experience in all
facets of video production, including live performances, show hosting, independent video
journalism, and documentary production. Her video fortes are hand-held location shooting,
concept development, crew management, and editing. Her Attention Deficit Disorder video
series has been distributed internationally.
For two years Carolyn was producer and host of the Lane Community College weekly TV show,
where she provided liaison for all departments needing campus television services. She also
supervised final semester Media students in program production. She has worked in industry as
Marketing and Communications Manager and as a print and video Project Coordinator. She is
mother of four, and grandmother of five.
Here is her introduction and what she is going to talk about:
From Portfolios to Video on the Internet – Presentation in the digital age!
An overview of what is needed in planning, and production, for presenting your art portfolio as a
“video folio”, or as a short promo piece for show or gallery submission.
Video allows for better exposure on the Internet, with less chance of your work being pirated.
Single images are easily taken off the web; however, video will not result in single images that can
be printed.
Although this presentation will not cover many of the options for print marketing, we will cover
the importance of a consistent “look & feel” throughout all marketing materials and the
importance of this.
It is recommended that you bring your portfolio with you to this discussion, so they can be used
as talking points for exploring various options as they relate to a video format.

JANE WELLES
I have some upcoming events to let the membership know about. I will have my booth in the Festival of the Arts on
Mill St on May 30, and also in the 52nd Art Fiesta at the Town & Country Village in Sacramento June 5&6, 10 am to 5 pm, Fulton & Marconi. I also participated
in the Bruin Ranch paintout sponsored by the Placer County Land Trust and that show of plein air paintings will be
displayed on the June Auburn Art Walk. And I have three paintings in the Winters Plein Air Festival, that show is up at the Briggs & Co Gallery in Winters.
Last, but not least, I finally have my own website, www.janewelles.com!
The Nevada County Plein Air Painters were featured at the first annual "Spingtime at the Empire Mine" on May 8. We painted on location in various spots around the grounds at the mine. The rangers are very excited about this
and want to make it an annual event because they feel it will draw visitors to the park. The NCPAP welcomes any members in Pioneer Arts who like to paint outside to come and join us at our monthly
meetings. They can contact me at [email protected].

NEW MEMBER INFORMATION
Who We Are
Pioneer Arts Incorporated is a nonprofit association
that works to promote the visual arts and artists of
Western Nevada County. The organization was
founded in 1965 by a group of dedicated artists who
met regularly to paint together. Today, Pioneer Arts
provides a friendly and supportive meeting place
for artists of all skill levels and for others who are
interested in visual arts. Activities are designed
to inspire and encourage members and guests in
their artistic pursuits as well as to encourage
community service in the arts.
Meetings
Each year Pioneer Arts schedules 10 general
meetings each on the second Wednesday of the
month. The highlight of the general meeting is
the presentation by a guest artist in the form of
a demonstration or lecture. These informative
sessions are open to the public and are free
unless we secure a nationally recognized artist.
Then, a small fee will be charged to the public.
November through April meetings are held
from 1 PM to 3 PM . May through October the
meetings are from 7 PM to 9 PM. The meetings
are located at the Center for the Arts, 314 West
Main Street, Grass Valley.
To complete the year two informal gatherings
are held in July and December.
Exhibits
Pioneer Arts sponsors two art sales and exhibitions
annually; a Spring Membership Show and in the Fall
the Northern Mines Show which is juried and open to
all visual artists located in Northern and Central
California.
Pioneer Arts also sponsors Art in Public Places, a
program which provides the opportunity for
members to exhibit their work at local businesses.
In addition, members maintain a booth at the local
Growers Market from May through October.
How To Join
Those interested in becoming members of Pioneer
Arts are invited to attend the next general meeting.
Annual dues are $35 and cover July 1st through
June 30th. The fee includes a subscription to our
monthly newsletter, The Nugget, which is an excellent
source of information about art activities and events in
our community, Western Nevada County, and Statewide as well as features about art techniques and art
history. Member advertising is also available. The
annual membership also includes free links to
member-artists websites from our website...
