Scarsdale Art Association’s Annual Outdoor Show and Sale is upon us!

"Scarsdale Visions" be SAA artist Miriam Schulman

Our Outdoor Show and Sale is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, September 8th and 9th from 10:00 am - 5:00 pm at Chase Park in Scarsdale. The rain date is Sept 29th and 30th.

With this newsletter you will find the registration form needed to participate. Fill out the form, and send it, along with your payment to the address indicated on the form.
We only have space for 42 artists in the park; therefore, it would be wise to register as soon
as possible, since our membership far exceeds 42 artists.

This year’s show, chaired by professional artist, and art-marketing-maven Miriam Schulman,
promises to be a fun and exciting event. Colorful flyers and postcards have been specially
designed by her daughter Talia, (Honor Art Student at Scarsdale High), and copy was written by
Phil Wallace. Flyers will be posted all over Westchester, and postcards will be sent out to
friends and family. Nancy Abbe has graciously donated one of her beautiful paintings for raffle,
and we are planning coloring-book activities, face-painting and balloons to add to the festive
atmosphere of our sale.

Fun notwithstanding, we are serious about selling our art, and a strong showing of artist participation
in this park event, lets Westchester County, and everyone else know about the
talent and skill in Scarsdale Art, which, hopefully will translate into solid sales for each of us.
So sign up, dress-up your art in its “Sunday best”, and program your artist’s minds for success
and sales!

And by the way, did I mention that we will have extensive NYC and County newspaper and
online publicity coverage for our event? This is created by former advertising executive Phil
Wallace and his able Communications Committee. Scarsdale Art is on the move! Sign up and move with us!

Meet, Mingle, and Munch - Event for New Members in July Featuring a Talk - “Tips on Selling Art” by Miriam Schulman

Meet and Greet
The New Member meeting, “Meet, Mingle and Munch” will be held at the Girl Scout House, on Sunday, July 29, 2012 from 2 PM to 5 PM. This is the first in a series of bi-annual meetings to welcome and introduce our new members to The Scarsdale Art Association.
All SAA members are invited. As we enjoy light refreshments, new members will have the opportunity to discover who we are, what we do, and how we do it. They will also be invited to further their new relationships by joining committees of interest to them This is the best way to quickly get into the “swing” of the organization, meet new people, and begin to make a difference in their own art, and in the goals of the Association.

“Tips on Selling Art”
Plans are well under way for our big annual event, the Outdoor Show and Sale. All members will have the opportunity to ask questions, sign up, and receive the publicity packets to distribute to family and friends, and to post around Westchester. Miriam Schulman, Outdoor Show Chair, will give a talk, “Tips on Selling Art”, to help members understand how to navigate the selling scene, and turn “lookers” into “buyers” at the show.

This will be a casual, interactive meeting that will welcome and encourage new members, to be
active in our dynamic organization.

Mark your calendars for this event. Because it is open to all, we will send out and/or post a form
to receive your RSVPs, to help the Hospitality Committee in planning.

The Betty Taubert Girl Scout House

The Girl Scout House is located at 31 Wayside Lane in Scarsdale, just south of the High School. We look forward to seeing everyone there!
