REMEMBER WHEN: First of all, a huge - HUGE - thank you to everyone who participated in "Remember When"!! :D Each of the pieces were so unique and everyone pulled together to put on an event that was more successful than we had even hoped! We raised double the amount that we had set as our goal, as well as exceeding our goal for number of entries! I am so proud of all of us!! We ROCK!

Below is a letter from Mary Beth at Coyote Central:
"Jesse,
Thank you and thank the Graphic Arts Club for throwing the Remembering When.....event for Coyote. It was touching to see the turnout and the amount of artwork created by everyone. It couldn't have been easy, what with all of the other college life deadlines and responsibilities. Coyote is honored.
Your spirit - amazing! You went to incredible efforts to pull this off and we send great thanks.
Best,
Marybeth, Claudia Stelle, and The Board of Directors"
And the event is continuing!! Mark Livingston, the PR Director at AiS has offered us a booth at the Northwest Art Alliance Show!! It's great promotional and a really cool opportunity to keep this ball a'rollin'! We will have room for approximately ten to fifteen pieces. And it's due no later than November 8th! (yay! I mean....*pant, pant...Whew!) If you want to jump in with a random piece or two to add to the equation, please join us!
And a huge pat on the back to Jesse Diaz for the highest bid of the event! He wins a $100 gift card to Paperhaus! Congrats, Jesse(1)!!
THE BURNLEY GALLERY: Every year the Burnley Gallery (that AiS' Gallery) does a student show, and we are invited to be in it! WOOT! So, if you have a piece you'd like to put in, you can take it (and an application which you can get from the front desk or at GD Club next week) to Mark Livingston's office on the 6th Floor NC to submit it! And for those of you with sold pieces from Remember When, if your buyer was willing to let you have it back for the Burnley Gallery, I have the waivers and I will bring them to GD Club next week!
NEXT QUARTER: GD Club meetings will be moved to Wednesdays at 4:30pm in room #704 - adjust your schedules accordingly!
AIGA: Only two days left to sign up with this super deal!! Get on it, folks!
