Sept. 26 from 5-7pm. Plan to stay for BluesNite after the reception, our monthly open jam session! Throughout history, artists have learned by drawing and painting the figure from life. PAA would like to show how current artists view this traditional subject. Submissions should show the artist’s interpretation of the human form and may be representational or abstract, in any media. Pieces may depict clothed figures or nudes, but all pieces should show sensitivity and respect for the human figure and tasteful subject matter. entry form

Call for Trustees: The Peninsula Art Academy is searching for candidates interested in serving our non-profit organization as Trustee: we are in dire need of a secretary! This person would attend the meetings, currently held on the second and fourth Wednesday at 6:00 pm, take notes, type them up and email them to the board. The secretary also creates the agenda, and email’s it out, as well as meeting reminders and helps write up a few reports at the end of year. The Board of Trustees is comprised of volunteers who meet twice a month to govern the affairs of the organization. Although there is no paid compensation, you will benefit by learning about general non-profit business administration and by contributing to the arts and culture in Northeast Ohio. No previous board experience is needed, but a working knowledge of art education or general business management will be desirable. Please submit your name for consideration by return email ASAP.



Volunteers Wanted: Would you like to add some experience in running a gallery, hanging shows and hosting workshops to your resume? We need you to come gallery sit! Or, can you help us with simple office duties, either at your home or at our office? Call PAA at 330-657-2248 to arrange an interview, or stop in soon!
