The city of Delaware is inviting artists to paint the Central Ohio Symphony in action. 2009 is their 30th anniversary and a May exhibition of other types of art is being planned now. Artists are invited to watch a performance. Or visit during a rehearsal and sit with the orchestra, photograph or create an onsite master piece while listening to them play. The interpretation of the music, musicians, or instruments are totally up to the artist. Please contact Warren Hyer before showing up for a rehearsal. Attached is the winter schedule. It might be fun to make a field trip out of this. Warren Hyer : 740-368-3712 email : whyer@centralOhioSymphony.org

Scenes from the July 19th Dublin Art Show, WAAL was invited to participate. Thanks to Dennis Zimmerman for coordinating with our membership and the Dublin Art League. We especially want to thank all the artists who participated and those who made it possible for us to set up, man the tent and do the take down. Our new banner was featured on the front of the tent to tell all the world we were there. We had about 25 artists represented with paintings, photographs, prints, cards and jewelry. There were some significant sales, and Katie Fowle was doing a great job of keeping track of the purchase records. Some of our members also had their own booths. Jim Glover, Janet Waggoner, Bob Tanner , Vivian Ripley, and Kevin Willis took on the big effort of having a booth with all the work that is involved in setting up a solo effort.
The tent was huge and we had a length of racks right down the middle with paintings hanging on both sides. Along the edges of the tent were tables and racks with additional art. The weather was just a tad on the warm side but we all had a great time.
