Studio Sessions webinar series for artists starts next Wednesday, February 19 at 6pm and focuses on the essentials for writing professional proposals. Each of the 3 one-hour sessions will be instructed by artist and gallery director Melanie Colosimo and covers the tips and tricks for writing professional proposals (including how to get organized, writing CVs, artist statements, and more). Webinars are only $18 each for VANS Members ($28 for Non-members) or you can bundle all three for just $45 ($75 for Non-Members). The registration deadline is this week so sign up online today: visualarts.ns.ca/
We’re introducing Third Thursdays: Monthly Member Meetups hosted by Pavia! Join Halifax based writers Julian Covey and Amanda Shore to talk about how architecture and municipal policy affects artists and communities. Bring along your copy of Visual Arts News, sit down for a coffee and join the conversation.Third Thursdays will happen at Pavia every (you guessed it) third Thursday of each month with a different theme and discussion topic. The first Third Thursday meetup is happening February 20 from 6 – 8pm at Pavia Gallery Espresso Bar and Café, Art Gallery of Nova Scotia location, 1723 Hollis St. Halifax.
We will soon send out the Spring Edition of Members’ News so let us know what you have going on this spring. Have you taught or taken a great class, or participated in an exhibition or residency? Let your peers know! We can tell you that they actually want to know your news, as Members’ News is the most read email we send out. Any VANS member can send along their brief updates (less than 100 words, written in 3rd person) to communicate@visualarts.ns.ca with the subject line “Members’ News”. Deadline: March 9.
The VANS office will be closed this Monday, February 17 for Nova Scotia Heritage Day. This year’s Heritage Day honouree is the community of Africville. Read Julian Covey’s article Remembering Africville as he discusses the MSVU Gallery exhibition Africville: A Spirit that Lives On – A Reflection Project in the spring issue of Visual Arts News.
The VANS slide library is ending In the age of print photography, the slide library used to be a way members could safely store duplicate documentation of their work safe from fire and flood, but now with the Artist Pages accessible to every member (and with so many members having their own website or social media as a way to store and share images of their work), the slide library has become obsolete. We will be deaccessioning all the slides by June 2020 but if you have slides at VANS and want them back please get in touch and we will make arrangements with you.
VANS membership gives you access to various VANS programs, information, opportunities, a subscription to Visual Arts News magazine, an Artist Page on our website, a large provincial community of colleagues and peer networks, and more. There are membership changes this year, including the option to have your membership auto-renew and an Artist Page included with every membership. You can renew your membership online, in person, by cheque, or by calling the VANS office at 902-423-4694.
