and neighbors, and let them
know your work is being
displayed in this special show.
I sadly had to accept the
recent resignation of our
TAA Secretary, Dana
Johnson, has been working
several jobs in recent months in
a most demanding time frame
to support herself and daughter
Laura, who will also be going
off to college next year.
Dana regretted not having the
time to perform her office as
TAA Secretary as well as she
had intended to in the recent
months, as she has always been
very supportive in all areas for
TAA, and I appreciate her prior
service very much, and she will
be missed by all. (See Kudo
photo of Dana on page below)
Therefore, I am asking some
TAA member to step up and
volunteer to be our interim
TAA Secretary until new
officers are elected in our
January 2014 General Meeting.
.
Take note of the $150,000
Award for the successful
design and construction of a
creative piece of Outdoor Art
planned for Wards Corner on
Norfolk, Virginia as briefly
described below on page 7, and

the prospectus and all related
details for entering this unique
President’s Letter
October 2013
Hello TAA members,
Last month our September
Members General Meeting was held for the first time at
the Portsmouth Art and
Cultural Center, on a very
nice Fall Sunday afternoon.
There will be No TAA
October General Meeting
this month in Portsmouth.
We do not hold General
Meetings in Months having
a new show opening.
And mark your calendars for
our “Opening Night” for
our “Going Up” juried
TAA Small Format Show
this month opening on
Thursday night, October
24th, 2013 from 5-6:30
p.m., in multi-story lobbies
of the Towne Pavilion I
Center building in Virginia
Beach .
All “Opening Night” food
and liquid refreshments will
be provided by the Pavilion I
center’s staff, so there is no
need for TAA members to
bring anything but
themselves and friends that
evening.
This show has a total of
$750.00 in cash awards,
and you will see an
exceptional number of new
works by our TAA artists. !
And don’t forget to call, or
email your friends, family,
Tidewater Art Alliance for Visual Artists Non-profit organization
outdoor design competition.
And I’m hoping to see our TAA
members at our TAA General
Meeting on Sunday Oct. 13th
!
Sincerely, Ray
Below is another famous artist
quote to ponder as we all are
continuing our path to making
better art to share with
ourselves, friends, family, and
society too.
“I have always tried to hide
my own efforts and wished my
works to have the lightness and
joyousness of a springtime
which never lets anyone
suspect the labours it cost.
Henri Matisse 1869-1954

“ Nature Revealed: Works by Frederick Nichols and Jan Knipe, October 19
th 2013 - January 12
th 2014
Free Admission to PFAC Members, $10.00 for Non-Members
"Nature Revealed" features views on nature in two solo shows by Virginia artists. Frederick Nichols creates large-scale paintings and
silkscreen prints of the Virginia countryside surrounding his Barboursville home. His works are based on photographs projected on
canvas, allowing him to capture "a place, one moment in time, one season at a time." With his wife, Beth, Nichols owns the Nichols
Gallery Annex in Barboursville. His work has been exhibited locally and internationally.
Radford resident Jan Knipe is particularly interested in observing development, unvarnished landscapes and chasing what light
reveals in particular locations and times of day. Her work is not new to PFAC; she received first place in drawing in the 1996 and
1996 PFAC juried exhibitions.

City of Norfolk, Virginia Public Art Program Commission of Artwork for Wards Corner RFP 4383
The Public Art Planning Committee seeks an artist to design and create artwork that is friendly
and inviting and that will cause viewers to pause and reflect. Over the years the area has become
visually fragmented due to many different owners. The committee hopes the final artwork will
unify and mark a cohesive neighborhood that honors its history with a new playful point of
view. The final artwork should be eye-catching, unique and bring color, fun and vibrancy to this
urban threshold.

You can help the Arts in Virginia—Here’s how!!
Virginians now have the opportunity to contribute part of
their state income tax refund to the Virginia Arts Foundation by checking a box on their return form. It’s never been so simple to support the arts in Virginia.
Because the foundation may receive but not solicit private funds, money will have to come from the purchase of arts license plate and other special sources, such as this tax check off box.
The interest on all funds received will be distributed in grants by the Virginia Commission for the Arts. Please help support the arts in Virginia. Check off a contribution for the Virginia Arts Foundation on your state income return. It’s one of the most important checks you can write – and now, it’s one of the easiest.
