Dear Members of the Artists Guild, 

The Artists Guild will hold its annual General Meeting on 
June 10, 2023, at 10 a.m., via Zoom.  
We hope you will join us for this important meeting.  

During the meeting, you will receive updates on past and upcoming Guild activities and exhibitions.  Then, attending Artist Members will need to elect the Board of Directors for the coming fiscal year. 
 

The slate of the proposed Board candidates is as follows:

Jody Abssy
Susan Ashley
Sue Zinngrabe Gold
Lunjia Hu
Kevin Inman
Susan Mae Hull
Katerina Husar Lazarova
Annie Kilgore
Mark-Elliott Lugo
Lucas Perez
Julianne Ricksecker
Angelika Villagrana
 

Guild Vice President Annie Kilgore has agreed to take over the Guild presidency for the 2023/24 fiscal year.  Thank you, Annie.

Annie is currently serving as Vice President and interim Treasurer.  
Since she will take over as Guild President, we will need a new Vice President and Treasurer.  

We also need assistance with: Hospitality, Marketing,
Public Relations, and Exhibitions. 

There can be co-chairs for any position, or you may only work on a small fraction of these positions.  We are also looking for additional board members.  If you are interested, please contact me at
(619) 222-1034 to discuss how you can assist us.  Thank you.
  
At this point, the following positions have been filled:
Secretary (Mark-Elliott Lugo); Membership Chair (Angelika Villagrana); History Chair (Jody Abssy); Exhibitions Co-Chair
(Kevin Inman); Newsletter Editor (Lunjia Hu);
Webmaster (Katerina Husar Lazarova). 

Guild Artist Members will also have to approve the amendments to the Artists Guild Bylaws, highlighted in red.  
Please click on: Amendment to Bylaws to review the
bylaws and amendments.  Thank you.
 

One important amendment is that we will add a representative of
The San Diego Museum of Art to our board, giving us the opportunity to work more closely with the Museum.  Our Museum liaison,
Lucas Perez, the Museum’s Manager of Art and Empathy Projects, and Innovation, has agreed to join our board, and we
are very happy about that.
 
After the formal meeting, we will, as always, invite attendees
to share one piece of their work.

To receive the Zoom link for our June 10 General Meeting, please RSVP to me by Friday evening, June 9.  
I look forward to seeing you virtually on June 10.
 
Many thanks to our Guild members who have submitted
work to our Membership Exhibition  A Walk Through Nature.  
The work will be hung the morning of June 17 and the
reception will be on Sunday, June 18, 2 to 4 p.m. 
at the Mission Trails Regional Park Visitors Center Gallery, 
One Father Junipero Serra Trail, San Diego, CA 92119-1008.  
The exhibition will be live and online from June 17
through July 27, 2023.
 
Best wishes, and many thanks for
your continued support of the Artists Guild.
Angelika
