The First Annual
University of Wisconsin Hospital
WAAC Members' Exhibition
WAAC has arranged a month-long exhibit during February of 2012 at the UW Hospital. Your work, if
you choose to participate, will be displayed in the surgical waiting room and other corridors at the hospital. So this will give your work exposure to a large number of people. This is open to all current WAAC members but time is of the essence as drop-off is Saturday, February 4. For more information, here is a cover letter and map, both in PDF format.

Why don’t we have free admission at the Winter Art Festival like we do at the summer fair?
Well, we could. The big question is, do you want to pay a higher entry fee? Unlike the summer fair, we pay Monona Terrace a considerable amount to rent the exhibition hall, plus we pay for some catering, security and miscellaneous expenses. This, of course, does not include WAAC’s own expenses, such as advertising (a large expense), employees’ salaries, mailings, office expenses, and the like.
The admission fee, which is low compared to many other indoor fairs, means that the majority of the people, who come, are interested in not only viewing, but purchasing art. And it gives us the opportunity to see how many invitational postcards and coupons are used which, in turn, helps determine our advertising budget.

WAAC's 25th and 30th anniversaries.

VOLUNTEERS ARE
ALWAYS NEEDED

WAAC Thrives because of you: can you help?
There are so many things you can do to help your organization.
 How about finding more sponsors for WAAC?
We all do business, so not ask a business owner or corporation from your area to help us with a financial or in-kind contribution.
 Ask your friends or family members to help.
We can use volunteers
at either or both of our fairs. They can booth-sit, sell t-shirts, hand out programs, take tickets, serve food at the summer fair picnic, help stuff artists' packets, help prepare packets for mailing, and enjoy munching while filling the WAACSnax baggies for Winter Art Festival, and the list goes on and on. At the summer fair, a few hours' work will get them a free t-shirt!
 Get involved in making WAAC a part of your community.
Talk to art teachers at public schools in your area about your talking about and/or demonstrating your art or craft.
Is it time for you to
JUMP IN?

ARTISTS HAVE MANY TALENTS!
Will you share yours?
We are looking for artists who also are cyber savvy to help us with online listings for Art Fair Off the Square and the Winter Art Festival and to maybe get us noticed on Twitter and Facebook.
Do you have experience in public relations, media buying and/or marketing?
We need five to ten hours of your time (no meetings!) to help us improve promotions for our art shows.
Please email Lee Hill at OakwoodStudios@aol.com. Thanks
