MAJOR WEBSITE CHANGE COMING

A database has now been established to streamline operations off and online.

During the first week of October 2008 all residual portfolios from the previous version of the site will no longer be linked to the MEMBERS index page for technical reasons.

This means the older, obsolete member profiles will not be used going forward. If you are a member who has not submitted a new profile and supporting materials in the past six months, you need to update your membership record to establish the PSA standard for a professional presence in the gallery, which will also display your art in a significantly more attractive manner than before.

The website committee will be happy to assist you in this process. Those members without digital files and/or a computer, should contact Mark Smollin after September 4th to make an appointment for assembling the information at the ArtScapE Gallery, 626 584 3997.


3RD PSA SUMMER SALON @ ARTSCAPE GALLERY SAT 16 AUG 12–3

ArtScapE Gallery IconYou are invited to join the continuing conversation about American art culture, public perception of art, and methods that might be used to create new marketing opportunities for PSA. Please bring your beverages.

The Last meeting was quite fruitful and it is clear that PSA has a broad talent base in its membership beyond the art. Many great ideas were revealed, what remains is how to focus our energy as volunteers.
