President’s Message I hope you have all at least started thinking about your entry for the Veteran’s show. I say this because I am just starting mine! The prospectus is enclosed with the newsletter and we hope you will all be ready for the show in November. We will also be needing volunteers to help distribute our flyers to the local businesses.

If you are interested in helping please let us know.

As previously mentioned, Glynmary has offered to set up a display with photos of our members who served or who have family members who served or are currently serving in the Military. This will be our tribute to members with military ties. Snapshots are okay and you don’t have to be in dress uniforms.

We had a lot of foot traffic and I think Alice also sold some cards. This is an opportunity for you as an artist to meet your public. As you can see a wide variety of Alice & Jackie set up tables set ups was encouraged.

There will be another one next to our Window Gallery next month on the 3rd Saturday of September (Sept 15, 2012) from 1 – 3 pm. Gail will have window 1079 (across from the CAG gallery open as a staging area for artists who need to make multiple trips out to their cars to bring in their display. We will be setting up in the same area of the mall. Meet the Artists is open to both Artists and photographers Alice sketched and sold who want to be a part of the event. The mall has no objection cards to you setting up a table to display your work, sell cards or prints, and

GOOGLE'S "REVERSE IMAGE SEARCH" HELPS ARTISTS FIND ILLICIT USES OF THEIR WORK Are you worried about posting your work on the internet? There is a way for you to check who is using images of your art on the web. Google recently launched a new service called "Reverse Image Search" http://ow.ly/6sBSL - simply drag an image of your work into the search box and the search engine will find everywhere on the web that your image appears.

You can then contact the owner of the site and ask them where they got permission to post your work and ask them to take it down if necessary. Pretty awesome tool to help artists protect their work!
