May 2010 BSA Newsletter (PDF) I hate to start my message with a complaint, but at the Spring Meeting at the Burchfield Penney Art Center we navigated our agenda with the usual suspects—you know, those who feel that it’s important to play a vital role in shaping the BSA. Though I never get tired of seeing the same faces (because they’re all very nice people), it would be nice to see some new ones—future carriers of the flame, so to speak. Yes, people have lives outside of this organization; there are members on our Board and serving on committees who might have gone five, six, ten years off the radar, who decided it was time to get involved, and there are members right now who…

March 2010 BSA Newsletter (PDF) That Vision Thing There’s been an interesting debate floating around within our ranks of late. It goes loosely like this: what should the BSA be? There is a faction, of indeterminate size, which says, look, the seminar, the Video Archive Project, the studio visits—all that’s fine, but unnecessary. Just give us our two exhibitions per year, plus Artpark, plus the annual dinner, and be done with it. Indeed, if that were all that was required, our board meetings would be one hour, punch out, go home. On the other side–and I count myself as among the proponents – is the argument that with our long rich history, we have to be more! More than a self-congratulatory organization of artists –…
