Hi Gina,
Thank you again for submitting your GNA nominations.
I am pleased to tell you that you had a winner:
Golden Touch Award – First Annual Barkley Street Art Walk
The GNA Jury met last night and they were so impressed with
your event. I think you have attended GNA before, but I wanted to give you the
following information:
1.
I would appreciate your notifying everyone that
participated with the art walk and invite them to attend GNA. There are
tables of 8 and 10 so hopefully you can all sit together. If you have more
tables, we will do our best to locate your tables next to each other. As
you know, the cost is $60 per person and everyone pays; even winners. The letter
to all the nominees and invitations will be mailed early next month. You must
return the reply card with payment in order to have a reservation.
2.
Please decide you who is going to accept that
evening for your Golden Touch so I can print that information on the
presenter’s script.
We received over 500 nominations this year and the GNA Jury
had tough decisions to make. And I am glad you were included in this year’s
winners. Please feel free to email or call me if you have any questions.
Thanks, Becky

7-8 Meet the Artists
Live Music and Hors d'oeuvres
FEATURING
All Proceeds toward
(the new) Hansford County Art Alliance to benefit local students of the arts
When we had Zulu Art Gallery on Main Street we had art shows often. I always featured the work of my art students and we had live music and snackipoos. Each show would feature an artist that I had previously approached (much to my hub's chagrin), and said
"Hey, do you want to do an art show in Spearman Texas?"
They always said
YES
and would leave saying it was the best venue they'd ever been involved in
I miss it
but why miss it? who needs a gallery to promote the arts?
All we need are some willing artists (see above)
some folks who like to walk down a leaf turning fallish festive street in a warm cozy sweater
and
there you have it

Hello Gina:
This sounds to be not only a highly imaginative idea but one that will turn into a most interesting evening.
Too warm for sweaters here, yet!!
Sounds great! I can't wait to go check them out on line :)
Stacy
now thats exciting!!!!
Fabulous! My old hometown has "Art in the Garden" every year = different artists in different people's gardens. It was always such a success. Sounds like your event will be just as great.
Fabulous Gina!
Sounds like you're planning a wonderful event! Wish I lived closer.
Mary Alice
Bring art to town...you go...that is wonderful! Wish I was closer because this is right up my alley. :)

Sounds like fun! I love to look at art! Especially if I can meet the artist!
BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO for communities that keep ART ALIVE! We are having one this weekend too, and I best get myself in gear to enter next year!
My dear, how is your home coming along? I am thrilled to know that your CASTLE is under construction and I am also honored that you come to visit me. Yes, isn't that crystal chandelier just so clear a sparkly?
Sparkle on and shine....you are beautiful! Anita

One of my favorite things to do. Art shows are so much fun and it is for a good cause.
Love this idea, art is a perfect movement for any community...wish we had more art in our area.
Thank you for sharing.

This is very intriguing, You are a quite skilled blogger. I have joined your rss feed and look forward to looking for far more of your wonderful post. Also, I've shared your internet web site in my social networks!
What a fabulous event! We have a local Art Walk in the fall in our Old Town area, and it is similar, and so much fun!
Hope all is well!

oh sounds fabulous!!
What a wonderful way to promote art and help art students... that would be such a fun and exciting event.
Congratulations, my friend!!! Well deserved. It takes a lot to organize an event like this. I know having done a few things like this in the past (garden tours, peony festivals, wedding shows). Enjoy the evening and the accolades. I hope you get a good turnout of the participants for the dinner.
Congratulations! What a great idea! Kudos to you for taking something you love and molding it to fit where you live. A street art walk sounds like such a fun thing to attend. No wonder it was chosen as a winner! Congrats again!
As someone who loves art, I find this very exciting!!!
