Bring: Join us for a new take on our usual Art Share format. Instead of presenting our work one artist at a time, this meeting we will lay all of the work out at once. With art displayed on tables and against the walls, we can browse the room to see the work at our own speed. Linger, or move on as desired.
Bring finished work or work-in-progress to share, or a "portfolio" presentation if desired. Also as usual, bring a nibble and a beverage of choice ..... Or just come and enjoy the company. Guests and prospective members are always welcome to join us. 

RSVP Please: by email to Susan Ker-Seymer, susanksatgmail.com if are attending or have questions.The program, ART SHARE, is a forum for members of WCAGA to show their work for the purpose of gaining feedback and insight, a sort of a critique, and a place to network with other artists and art professionals. Please email me if you would like to host an ART SHARE, have a suggestion for a venue or format, or would like to be involved in some way.  

Let's get to know our Members--Peery Angelika

Peery Angelika has been a member of the WCAGA since 2005. She has an acute interest in art in all its forms. This interest she feeds by doing classes and mixing with artists on all levels. She was born in Bavaria, Germany. She has a background in Computer Programming and studied at the University of Regensburg. She and her husband currently live in Atlanta Georgia, USA. 

With an analytical outlook on life she creates art that reflects not the language of science but the human drama around us. Her art talks to the base level of every human whether adult or child. She has countless ideas that she works on in her art, whether it is the project "Helena of Troy", or her latest project, "Naked Faces".

"Naked Faces" is a project where the members of the Women’s Caucus for Art of Georgia will play a central role. 

According to Peery she has been contemplating Naked Faces for the last 9 months and the birth is imminent. In an email to some of the WCAGA Board Members she writes the following: 

“Dear artists,I have been contemplating my naked faces for 9 month.enough is enough.Voila
I would like to portrait all of you generously inclined members of the WCA.
Technically speaking I will use a digital camera, grey values, in focus and blurry and different angles, straight up in your naked face.I will discuss what photos might be used for the "Naked faces" to be presented to the public.No names attached to the photos, and of course you take your raw photos home.For convenience and comfort I will photograph before and after meetings as in book club, drawing marathon, etc.For those who would like to see my art&studio, we can do kaffeeklatsch with your favorites.I would feel honored to visit and photograph in your studio, for everybody who is perfectly comfortably in front of the camera and would like to share their art.If you don't like photos of your face, I could work out a substitute representative.And if you don't like photographs or me at all, well then....
Sincerely yours Peery”

Please contact Peery by email peery.angelikaatgmail.com if you would like to be part of this wonderful project. 

Below is some of Peery's paintings and prints, for more work and details visit her website.

Summer Visual Arts Workshops at Cullowhee Mountain ARTS

Norma Hendrix. the Director of Cullowhee Mountian ARTS wants to let the WCAGA know that they are offering an excellent summer workshop series.  It will be six weeks of art and other public programs taught by high profile artists and instructors.

Cullowhee Mountain ARTS 2012 summer program  will include an exciting range of workshops. Imagine yourself in a studio where other artists are exploring solar plate etching or monotype with new inks. Or learning about slabs and extrusions, forming pots you always wanted to make. Or learning plein air watercolor surrounded by majestic mountains and summer botanicals. Or making books as unconventional as ones’ imagination can conceive. And imagine that you will be sharing ideas and meals and outings with other artists from around the country. At Cullowhee Mountain ARTS you will find a like-minded community of passionate learners, energized by wonderful instructors where daily concerns are left behind.

Norma says that she specifically wants to focus on the workshop opportunity with Stuart Shils. This workshop, June 25 - 29, is for mature artists and is a wonderful opportunity. Stuart is a regular visiting artist at the Vermont Studio Center, regularly exhibits in New York - Tibor De Nagy Gallery, Davis and Langdale among others, teaches nationally and internationally.  His workshops are generally only 3 days long and for the same price, he is teaching a 5 day for Cullowhee Mountain ARTS. We are running a special of $100 off any June Workshop.

Mug Shots--I am Woman

Cherie M. Redlinger is one of our wonderful members who was involved in founding the WCA of Georgia. She is currently the Chapter Program chair on the WCA Natioanl Board. She describes herself as a Neo-Feminist. On the topic of being a Neo-Feminist she has the following to say: 

"I believe to be a Neo-Feminist: You don't have to be fat or hairy or a lesbian or burn your bra to be a feminist, but you believe as a Neo-Feminist it is fine with being fat or hairy or a lesbian or burning your bra anyway or you are a Neo-Feminist dressed like a slut. It doesn’t matter Neo-Feminist will still get angry when a woman gets her nose cut off because her husband believes she is unfaithful or when children are drinking toxin water because big business is polluting the water."

One of her newest projects is  Mug Shots: I am Woman. This installation consists of 3 parts.

Mug Shots: Women in Careers
Evidence: Women’s Objects 
Victim: Death of Inequality
