NEW NAME AND NEW DIRECTION FOR OWA
By Pete Peterson
In order that we might attract new members and broaden the scope of the creative opportunities for all members, it was decided at the last meeting to change the name of your organization from OKLAHOMA WATERCOLOR ASSOCIATION to OKLAHOMA WATERMEDIA ASSOCIATION.
OWA exhibits and shows will now accept entries in most water-based media on varied surfaces including paper, canvas (regular or watercolor), board, linen, etc. We hope that these inclusions will attract many new artists, will allow present members try some new approaches and, perhaps most importantly, will bring a much needed infusion of funds in dues and entry fees.
The publicity committee will send out press releases announcing the changes to local newspapers, art departments and art groups. We encourage all members to tell their artist friends in other organizations, and to offer your own suggestions at the next meeting or to this newsletter.
