Have you noticed that many successful artists
tend to have a fierce independence, while at the same time have
the ability to function compatibly within a community? It
becomes evident to most artists that it is necessary to risk
making individual creative commitments, even though supportive
response might not be assured. At the same time that an artist
takes an individual stand, the value of community connectedness
and relationships holds proven personal and professional
benefits.
This is why we will come to Seattle for the 2008 ASAA
International Aerospace Art Exhibition and Forum. The Forum will
include painting workshops and presentations by recognized
artists; exchanges with individuals who have rich personal
experiences and knowledge in aviation, aerospace and art; an
enthusiastic audience; the world class Museum of Flight; the
home of Boeing; the inspiration of the Lindbergh family; the
rush of the Collings Foundation WW II planes in flight; the
imagination of the Foundation for the Future; and your
opportunity to create.
Here are just a few highlighted benefits in this exciting
complimentary relationship:
Individuals will receive
- knowledge from a wide range of resources
- a supportive environment for expansion and exploration
- affirmation and appreciation from peers and audience
- renewed vigor and enthusiasm
- friendships, old and new
Individuals will give
- the gift of yourself
- your perspective, experience, knowledge, and enjoyment of
shared interests
- a real person to go with the art and signature that the
audience sees throughout the years
- friendships, old and new
As a group, we will receive
- welcome from a community of aviation and space enthusiasts who
are excited to share with us
- recognition and visibility resulting from the strength of our
combined voices and art
- open doors that are offered uniquely to us as a group
As a group, we will give
- energy, depth, credibility to the art and aviation/aerospace
to which we give our commitment
- a rare gathering of a unique group of artists in the Seattle
area
- insight to the public audience about what we do as artists and
as ambassadors for aviation/aerospace
- increased audience understanding of aviation/aerospace and
inspiration for people of all ages to appreciate the past and
build to the future
So join the fun, friendships, sharing, discoveries and rewards
of the exciting ASAA Forum and Exhibition in Seattle. Submit
your paintings, send in your registration, pack your bags and
art supplies, and join us in Seattle June 16-21, 2008! |
