The reception for the Guild’s 23rd Annual Open Juried show was quite an event. A fine array of
diverse art, coupled with an a cappella performance by members of the Chorus of the Atlantic, made
this reception a tough act to follow! However, the reception for the Plein Air Painters of the Jersey
Coast was certainly worthy. Barbara Paskin serenaded us with her vocals and acoustic guitar, and
Guild Vice-President and Plein Air artist, Tony Migliaccio, did a masterful and informative
demonstration before a packed studio audience. We expected people to amble into the studio
periodically to view parts of his hour long demonstration; however, the rapt crowd stayed for its
entirety. Reception attendance of more than 170 people was proof positive that this event was a
special occasion. The sensitive portrayals of land and sea were a savory feast for the eyes and soul.
Be sure to mark your calendar to attend our All Guild Members’ Holiday Show reception,
annual meeting, and holiday party on December 13th beginning at 2:30. You may vote at that time for
our 2016 slate of officers, and view our gallery and lobby exhibits. Guild members will also display gift
tables of artwork, bin racks of flat work, and a Cash and Carry show featuring original fine art priced
under $100. This event has been very popular in the past, and will be a real treat again this year.

The Guild is the only art venue in our area that has three levels of membership, the two
higher levels subject to portfolio review. The Exhibiting and Associate memberships offer increased
member privileges and opportunities to exhibit. We believe this system encourages our members to
strive toward greater artistic skill, professionalism, originality, and expertise. We are gratified that
eleven artists submitted their work this past November 12th for our semi-annual Portfolio Jury. We
invite you to attend our Exhibiting and Associate Member Show in February. You will find the quality
of our Exhibiting and Associate members’ artwork to be unmatched. The November Portfolio Jury
augmented our member base with additional outstanding painters and photographers. We welcome
them, and encourage all General members to submit artwork for the next Portfolio Review in June
2016.
Attention
All Guild
Members
We continue to await the results of our $48,200 Community Development Block Grant
Application to make the Guild fully ADA compliant. The design plan includes a resurfaced parking lot,
redesigned and regraded ingress and egress ramps with handrails and increased lighting, touch pad
activated automatic doors, and new back doors with an easily accessible route to and from the
parking lot. These changes will improve access to the Guild for all of our visitors. We are hoping to
receive approval by the end of this month, with funding to begin during the summer. Still keeping
those fingers crossed!

Instructor: Tera Yoshimura
[email protected]
At the Stream
by Robert J. Stetz
Tuesdays 4:30 – 6:30 pm
This drawing class will teach students of all ability levels how to utilize their right brain to become better artists.
Learning how to tap into the right brain enriches the artist's abilities to better coordinate the hand to eye
perspective. Students will be able to see improvement over time after acquiring basic right brain training.
Everyone has the potential to be an artist once the basics have been learned.
Art has played a major role in Tera Yoshimura’s life since the age of four. She has used her craft in commercial art, advertising,
photography touch-up, private teaching, print making, portraits, and murals. Her murals can be seen in the private and public
circles throughout the Houston area. Her paintings and portraits are in many private collections throughout the United States.

Next scheduled Portfolio Jury for those applying for a
Guild of Creative Art Associate or Exhibiting Membership
For the following categories, you will need FIVE pieces of artwork, framed (if suitable) and professionally presented:
Flat Work – including acrylic, watercolor, oil, pencil, pastel, photography, mixed media, and printmaking
Sculpture – including wood, glass, ceramic, metal, or stone
Work will be judged on the following criteria:
Consistency – Submissions demonstrate a consistent level of execution across all assessment criteria
Originality/Creativity – The work must be unique and inventive, and does not appear to be copied from other
sources. The work will be judged as a Portfolio with emphasis on a consistent, distinct, personal style that looks like
it was done by the same person. Experimentation with materials and imagery, as well as evidence of risk-taking may
be present.
Composition/Design – Submissions show a strong understanding of composition, with interesting negative and
positive shapes, good value ranges, and a good application of color theory. The basics of good design should be
evident, effectively utilizing rhythm, repetition, unity, and harmony to enhance the overall design. The work should
be commanding, with fresh visual impact, organized around a strong center of interest.
Craftsmanship – Submissions need to demonstrate strong aptitude, skill, and dexterity in the use of the chosen
media and tools. Technical skills, such as drawing, carving, and the overall handling of materials should be consistent
and well executed.
Presentation – The artist must present the work in a professional manner. Frames and mats shall be clean,
damage-free, and are appropriate for the piece. Framed flat work shall be properly wired and ready to hang, as if
being submitted for a juried show. Sculpture must have its own pedestal or base.
