FROM: Anne Swadley DETAILS
Dear Guild Members: May 1, 2019
The annual Guild meeting for 2019 will be held on May 18th at the Jackson County Public Library in Ripley (208 N. Church St. near the Court House). The meeting will run from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm. This will be a very brief business meeting with the purpose of electing officers, discussing plans for the Mountain State Art & Craft Fair, reviewing the budget and Treasurer’s report, and holding a jurying session for members needing to jury for marketing purposes. A ballot for the election of officers and a form for those who wish to participate in the MSACF are included along with this letter.
In recent years we have had fewer active members in our group. Some are no longer making their arts and crafts and younger artists are not coming in to replace them. It’s sad, but times change and priorities do too.
Therefore, the Guild’s work has fallen on fewer remaining dedicated members. We have been forced to focus and limit our Guild’s mission back to our original roots, the promotion of the Mountain State Art & Craft Fair. We are fortunate to have three active Guild members still serving on the MSACF board as well, so we do have some influence on what happens there. We also continue our marketing with the Wheeling Artisan Center.
On that note, the 57th annual Mountain State Art & Craft Fair will be held again this year at Cedar Lakes in Ripley, WV on July 4th through 6th. The W. V. Art & Craft Guild has been a co-sponsor and exhibitor since 1963 and we look forward to another great year!
Participating in the Guild Booth gives members the opportunity to work together to market their artwork. New members can “try out” the fair and the marketability of their products without the huge commitment and expense of having their own booth. For our “regulars”, the fair allows us a chance to spend quality time together with our special friends while displaying and selling our wares. We have a wonderful core group of MSACF participants who return year after year and the Booth has been better than ever lately! Last year we even won the prize for “Best Booth”.
Fair hours will be 10:00 am to 6:00 pm on Thursday and Friday. Saturday the fair will start early (8:00 am) to accommodate an expanded fishing derby designed to bring in lots more customers. Set up day will be Wednesday July 3rd beginning at 9:00 am. To cover Guild expenses, the Guild keeps 15% of MSACF sales. The MSACF keeps 15% of sales as well, for a total of 30%. The Guild handles collection and submission of sales tax to the State. Participating members will be expected to work in the booth if at all possible. However, if you have special needs and can’t work, we can usually accommodate your needs. Please do not let this prevent you from exhibiting with us! Many hands make for light work!
After a few years of exhibiting in Jackson Hall, the Guild has really come to appreciate the joys of being inside a solid air conditioned building. We have restrooms, a refrigerator and lots of space to display our wares. We don’t have to worry about the weather and can lock up tight at night for added security.
Hope to see you at the meeting (and the fair)!
Respectfully,
Anne Swadley, Guild President

DETAILSMonday, May 16, 2016 Dear Guild Members: Please mark your calendars for our approaching ALL MEMBERSHIP MEETING! Many voices and many hands make light work for all. Our Annual Spring Guild meeting will be held on Saturday, June 18 at the Vienna Public Library, 2300 River Road in Vienna, West Virginia, 26105-1372. The focus of our meeting will be our future goals as an organization and how to move forward. Our gathering will begin at 10 a.m. with Jury Session for anyone wanting to participate in the marketing opportunities. Directly after the Jury Session, we will hold our Annual Meeting and Election of Board Members and Officer. We can do some brainstorming as well!
We will have lunch (catered by “Rubi’s Pizza & Grille” of Parkersburg) at 11:30 a.m. while we have our business meeting. There are several important items on our agenda that need your input, only one of which is the election of officers. ( A ballot for the election is included with this letter…please make sure your email information is up-to-date with us.) The cost for lunch will be $10.00. Please remit in the enclosed envelope. If you need to pay the day of the meeting, please email me or call me. With the changes which have occurred with Mountain State Art & Craft Fair, we will spend some time discussing the Guild Sales Booth for the upcoming MSACF in September. I’m hoping that you will join us at the Vienna Library for our Spring Meeting. Please mail your reservation to me in the enclosed envelope (along with your dues renewal, if you like) or call me at (304) 481-6243. I need your reply by Monday, June 13 so we can order our lunch food! The Mountain State Art and Craft Fair, An Appalachian Experience will be held at Cedar Lakes in Ripley, West Virginia on Friday-Sunday, September 16-18, 2016. The West Virginia Art and Craft Guild has been a Co-Sponsor and Exhibitor at the original MSACF since its beginning. We are looking forward to a successful rebirth of the Fair but it is critical that we have enough members participating to make the Guild’s booth successful. Participating in the Guild Booth gives us a unique opportunity to work together to market our products. We have a chance to be with other craft people, to see the work of other artists, and test the marketability of our product without the need for a large inventory. There are some large display boxes available for our use already at Cedar Lakes. Many folks, however, may want to bring your own display items especially suited to your product. You know best what you need to show your work to its full advantage. Becky Williamson will be heading this up as the Marketing Director. Please see enclosed letter from Becky.
Kindest regard, Kenneth D. Westfall, Treasurer
5/4/2016 Dear Fellow Guild Members, I am excited to tell you about one of the opportunities being a West Virginia Art & Craft Guild member has to offer: 2016 Mountain State Art & Craft Fair: An Appalachian Experience. As most of you know the fair date has been changed to September 16-18, 2016. Once again the WVACG has a tent and we are looking for Guild members that would like to participate. I am officially in charge of coordinating the booth, but Anne Swadley has graciously offered to unofficially co-chair. What this means; Anne will be working very hard to help make the fair booth successful, but I will be the one dealing with any problems or issues that occur. Please direct any questions or issues towards me. My home address, email and phone number are at the top of this letter for your convenience. In the past it has been mandatory for exhibitors to work the booth. This year we are going to waive those restrictions for our older members whom just cannot help as much. We certainly appreciate their contributions to the Guild and this is our way of honoring them and their past efforts. There are also some folks that are unable to give as much time as they would like, but are willing to work the booth for a small period of time. We are open to allowing your work in. Please let me know what issues you may have in your email, we can probably work around them. I would like to invite anyone who is interested to email me at the above address. If you do not do email, I understand and invite you to call instead. Once we have our list of interested artisans and craftspeople then I will send out further communications.
Warm regards, Rebecca Williamson

West Virginia Art and Craft Guild Annual Spring Meeting and Jury Session Saturday, May 17, 2014 at Tamarack, Beckley, WV
9:00 am 11:00 am Jury Sessions for members and prospective members 11:00 am 1:00 pm Break for lunch and shopping 1:00 pm 3:00 pm Membership Annual Meeting and Election of Officers & Board of Directors
Written: Thursday, April 24, 2014 Greetings Guild Members and Friends of the Guild,
This year’s Annual Guild Meeting and Jurying is scheduled for Saturday, May 17th at Tamarack, the Best of West Virginia, in Beckley, West Virginia. We will hold a jury session for new members’ work and jury new works by current and/or rejoining members, beginning at 9:00 am. Bring your artwork for jury to the lobby of the Gov. Hulett C. Smith Theater inside Tamarack.
The business meeting will begin at 1:00 pm. Tamarack is graciously hosting the meeting in the Gov. Hulett C. Smith Theater. The Guild will have an election of officers and board members during the Annual Meeting. If you are interested in promoting the business of arts and crafts in West Virginia, consider serving on the Guild’s Board of Directors. Nominations also will be received from the floor for those interested and willing to serve on the Board of Directors.
If you plan to market at Guild venues this year and have not marketed with the Guild for the past 5 years or you have a new line of work significantly different from previously juried work, we ask that you plan to jury the new artwork at the meeting. If you have any questions about the jurying, contact Ken Westfall at <info@wvartcraftguild.com> or Cyndi Bolt at <cyndi@cyndibolt.com>.
Plans are afoot for our 10th Biennial Juried Competition this coming fall. We will be jurying by digital images. The show travels to three West Virginia locations: Parkersburg Art Center, Wheeling Artisan Center, and Huntington Museum of Art. This will be our first show at the Huntington Museum of Art and we are excited to bring our Guild show to the Huntington area. The deadline for submissions will be September 1. This is earlier than previous shows to give us time to prepare the entries for jurying, so make note of it on your calendar!
The Mountain State Art and Craft Fair is approaching fast. Dates this year are: Setup: July 2nd. Fair: July 3rd, 4th and 5th.
If you are not a regular MSACF exhibitor, Guild members may elect to sell their juried work in the Guild’s tent. Members will be receiving information to apply soon. Take advantage of the jury session being held at this Annual Meeting, if you are not currently a Juried Member.
(Or: See the application in this packet.)
The Guild Shop at Wheeling Artisan Center needs merchandise as always! Take advantage of this opportunity to sell your art or craft. This is a wonderful shop.
Look occasionally for updates from the Guild on our Facebook page at http://facebook.com/pages/WVArtCraftGuild. You don’t have to join Facebook to look at the page and get any recent messages we’ve posted but you do need to register on Facebook to comment/post. Check often to stay informed.
Updates of the Guild’s Members Online Gallery (MOG) are ongoing. The current directory listing is finished. Many of the mailing addresses still list the older “route” system and I need to replace your addresses. Ditto for many of the email addresses; they need updating. You may email me your new information at <cyndi@cyndibolt.com>. Remember, when someone looks for you or your artwork online, the MOG often comes up. Current information makes it easier for YOU TO SELL!
In addition, I would like to put your new website, your Facebook and other contact information on your listing on MOG. New photos of your artwork are needed for the gallery and individual artist pages. Again, this is a service offered with your membership…take advantage of the advertising opportunity….it isn’t costing you anything.
Please see http://wvartcraftguild.com/wvacgmog/mog_info.html to contact me with your new information.
We need to develop a mobile version of the website. I’ve begun this with the information page in the MOG. See http://wvartcraftguild.com/wvacgmog/mog_info.html for a test mobile page.
Looking forward to seeing you on May 17th,

RELEASE
from The
WV Art & Craft Guild is a non-profit membership organization whose goal is
to promote & preserve art and craft and the creative lifestyle in FROM: Becky Williamson DETAILS
Dear Fellow Artisans, As some of you may know, the West Virginia Art and Craft Guild have an exhibitor space reserved for the Oglebayfest in Wheeling, WV on October 1-3. My name is Becky Williamson and I will be coordinating the booth for the Guild. I can be reached at: rwilliamson2233@suddenlink.net or 304-615-2191.
Basically we will be using the same guidelines the Guild uses for the West Virginia Arts and Crafts Fair in Ripley. Anyone exhibiting in the booth will take a turn working the booth and sales area sometime during the show. All artisans will receive 70% of their sales, with 30% going to the Guild. This 30% pays for the tent rental fee and other expenses incurred by the Guild. Our tent will be much smaller than what we have at the West Virginia Arts and Crafts Fair in Ripley. It is only a 10x20 space, and as such, if we have a large number of artisans/craftspeople who would like to display, then the amount of your goods will need to be smaller in quantity. However, they can be restocked as sold, and you can bring in new items daily. While artist demonstrations are not required at Oglebayfest as they are at WVACF, they are highly encouraged. Some of you may be interested in demonstrating. I have already received several emails from people stating an interest in attending. Until the number is firmed up, I am unable to give firm work times. However, I am attaching a schedule that I believe will work. We will not have the same display units that we use in Ripley. Juliann has volunteered some shelving units. I am sure this will not work for all goods being sold. Please let me know how you are going to display your items. Once everyone has signed up, then we can decide what will work. We also need a cash register. The one we use in Ripley belongs to Ken Westfall and he will be at another show, and therefore it is unavailable to us. The show hours and set up times are as follows:
I will be unable to get to Wheeling on Thursday. I have class in Marietta, Ohio from 1:00pm to 4:00pm and it takes approx. 2-3 hrs to get from here to Wheeling. I realize this is not going to be helpful to those who want to set up on Thursday. I certainly do not have a problem with you continuing with your set up plans. Just be aware that you will be doing the initial arranging of display units. I will be there on Friday morning at 8:00. Please mark on your work sheet when you think you will be setting up. I am also attaching an inventory form. As some of you will note, this is the same form we use for the Ripley show. If you know your marketing number include it. If you do not know or do not have one, I will be able to get one for you. The item code is anything, or anyway, that you can identify your ware. Your price is the amount that you will be receiving for the item (70%). Sales price is the amount the item will sell for (your 70% + Guild 30%). All items must have a sales tag that includes: your artist number, the item code, and the sales price Example: 560-Earrings $20.00 or 560-12E $20.00 Okay, I believe that is about it. Please respond by September 20, 2010. I will have schedules done by September 25. They will be emailed to those exhibiting, unless you do not have email. This saves on both time and money. Thanks, Becky Williamson FROM: Kenneth Wesftall DETAILS
Anyone who is a juried member of the guild
wanting to participate in Oglebayfest need to let Becky or me know with in the
