President’s report
Reminder: The Dubuque Museum of Art wants us for 2016. We need a theme (planning committee), coordinator for exhibit (planning committee to find someone).

Quote from Dubuque Museum of Art Fundraiser on Friday: Dubuque Museum of Art executive director David Schmitz told art patrons that the museum is for everyone. During a recent camera club exhibit, he received a phone call from a truck driver who was coming to visit to make sure they were open. He said one of his friends had a photo in the show that he wanted to see.

Holiday Show at the Carnegie-Stout Library. These names were selected by drawing to show at the library: Kevin McTague, Bob Felderman and Laura Schuster. Bob, Sue, Lori, Ron, Gary are backups if the other artists sell their work.

The opening reception for the Holiday exhibit is December 4, 5:30-7:30 p.m. All are invited, no admission charge.

The current library display runs until November 23. Please pick up art on these days: Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, November 23, 24, or 25.
