Tomorrow those that can should plan to meet at the art building around 9am to help load tables to bring to Artfest. If you cannot, then plan to arrive around 10am in Monroe to help unload and set-up. If it is raining, Artfest will still be on, but will be held mostly inside the parking garage by Vantage Tower. It's in the exact same vicinity, just in the only parking garage you can see from that area. If it's not raining, our tent is at 2nd and Desiard. See you tomorrow!

Don't forget, the downtown Monroe artfest is this Saturday from 12pm-6pm. If you are planning on selling work you need to be there and ready before noon. Make sure you are preparing right now and gradually finishing all the little details throughout the week (pricing, business cards, printing, etc.) If you have questions talk to your photo-faculty member sooner than later.

Here's the website. Stop by even if you're not selling work.

The Masur Museum of Art's annual juried members exhibition is due on Friday! You should all plan to submit to this. On a side note, being a member of a museum can go on your resume, so even if you don't get work in, you get another line!

Details are right here.

The Monroe Downtown Arts Fest happening April 18th is in need of people interested in some fun and excitement with a mix of a little mild labor.

Here are a few things they would love to have your help with:

• Helping artist set up and disassemble displays.
• Helping with any decorating.
• Selling refreshments and food.
• Helping set up and maintain Children’s Area.
• Directing people to the various events.

So if your interested in helping fellow patrons have a good time please let them know by
sending us your Name, Phone Number and E-Mail on Facebook or send it to: downtownartfest@gmail.com

p.s. If your resume is slim (as most of yours are) this is a way to begin bolstering that and lead to future connections and opportunities to give back to your art community. Think about if you are applying for scholarships, if you can write that you volunteer in your art community it makes you sound like a good person who is active. I strongly recommend helping a little bit if you can, if for nothing else, because it is a good thing to do.
