Place, Date and Time to be Determined
Board Meetings are held the first Monday of every month.

Planning Meeting Review: We had our planning meeting on January 19th.
The following are the outcome of the discussions that took place. Numbers 1 & 2 were voted on and confirmed by the members present:
PAA’s Purpose (as stated in our Bylaws):
PAA will provide activities to promote the appreciation of visual art in Petaluma.
PAA will provide scholarships or awards, if funds are available, to students engaged in the field of visual arts.
PAA will provide a supportive fellowship that motivates and encourages its members to develop and expand their skills and appreciation in the field of visual arts.
With keeping our purpose in mind we decided at the Planning Meeting to create monthly PAA Community Activities to fulfill on the portion of our bylaws as stated above.
The PAA Board cannot do this alone. We are encouraging members to become more active by; participating in and to help with providing activities and a supportive fellowship to our artist community.
Community Events:
Monthly PAA Community Activities will take place every month. There is no limit to how many activities can be planned each month and they can be planned by any PAA member.
The more activities provided the more choices members have to participate in.
The member(s) who creates the event will be in charge of handling all the details of the event and will be the contact point for all inquiries and sign-ups.
These events will be posted on our website, PAA Newsletter (if submitted on time), Facebook, and email blasts will go out to members with information on how members can participate. We encourage members to bring a guest with them to all events to expose them to PAA and art.
These activities/events can be anything from:
a.) Visiting galleries, museums and attending PAA members shows.
b) Outdoor painting/drawing events, art critique support groups
c) Social events to get to know each other and collaborate on
PAA membership shows ideas.
d) It can also be an announcement about upcoming shows members can participate in.
e) Invitation to members about your own show and when the show reception will be so members can support you by attending.
f)Going on an Art Trails or Open Studios group tour and much, much more!!
.
Social Media:
We added a Social Media Chair, Connie Heizer, to work on reaching out through places like Facebook and Instagram etc…Also to use these sites to promote members shows and individuals who have shows.
Connie would like to invite us to LIKE the Facebook page and then SHARE it. Connie will be adding you to the page and you need to "accept" the invitation for a new Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/thepetalumaartsassociation

PAA Secretary Opening:
We currently have two people sharing the duties of PAA Secretary, Marti Sanders and Yvonne Glasscoe. Yvonne can no longer be the secretary since she is the president. Marti travels several months a year and can share the position. We are looking for a member to be either our full-time secretary or share the duties with Marti Sanders. You would need to attend and take the minutes at all the board meetings on the first Monday of each month as well as the quarterly General Meetings. If sharing the duties with Marti you would only need to attend about half of the board and quarterly meetings. If interested in this position please contact Yvonne Glasscoe petalumaartassociation@gmail.com
Please note; we are no longer having Monthly General Meetings
(See below for more information regarding meetings and monthly activities)
Our next Quarterly Meeting will be in April 2019
Place, Date and Time to be Determined
Board Meetings are held the first Monday of every month.
Members are welcome to attend and observe all Board Meetings. Please contact Maria Lewis for meeting information
Planning Meeting Review: We had our planning meeting on January 19th.
The following are the outcome of the discussions that took place. Numbers 1 & 2 were voted on and confirmed by the members present:
- Dues would increase to $45 to cover PAA operating expenses for 2019.
- Quarterly Meetings would replace Monthly Meetings. Meetings will be held in January, April, July, and November. These Meetings will be on the 2nd Saturday of those months preferably in the morning. January meeting will be our annual planning meeting. The three other quarterly meetings will have a presenter. Continuing monthly meetings would exceed our annual dues intake.
PAA’s Purpose (as stated in our Bylaws):
PAA will provide activities to promote the appreciation of visual art in Petaluma.
PAA will provide scholarships or awards, if funds are available, to students engaged in the field of visual arts.
PAA will provide a supportive fellowship that motivates and encourages its members to develop and expand their skills and appreciation in the field of visual arts.
With keeping our purpose in mind we decided at the Planning Meeting to create monthly PAA Community Activities to fulfill on the portion of our bylaws as stated above.
The PAA Board cannot do this alone. We are encouraging members to become more active by; participating in and to help with providing activities and a supportive fellowship to our artist community.
Community Events:
Monthly PAA Community Activities will take place every month. There is no limit to how many activities can be planned each month and they can be planned by any PAA member.
The more activities provided the more choices members have to participate in.
The member(s) who creates the event will be in charge of handling all the details of the event and will be the contact point for all inquiries and sign-ups.
These events will be posted on our website, PAA Newsletter (if submitted on time), Facebook, and email blasts will go out to members with information on how members can participate. We encourage members to bring a guest with them to all events to expose them to PAA and art.
These activities/events can be anything from:
a.) Visiting galleries, museums and attending PAA members shows.
b) Outdoor painting/drawing events, art critique support groups
c) Social events to get to know each other and collaborate on
PAA membership shows ideas.
d) It can also be an announcement about upcoming shows members can participate in.
e) Invitation to members about your own show and when the show reception will be so members can support you by attending.
f)Going on an Art Trails or Open Studios group tour and much, much more!!
.
