MEMBERSHIP ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Please note that membership renewal notices for our new fiscal year (July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026) will be e-mailed to our members on July 1. Since The San Diego Museum of Art takes care of our accounting and operates under a zero-based budget, all our funds will be moved over to the Museum's operating budget on June 30, and we will have to start with zero money on July 1.
Therefore, please do not renew your membership before July 1.
As I mentioned during our General Meeting, we will be able to transfer
close to $5,000 to the Museum on June 30.
We very much hope that you will continue your membership with the Guild.
Artist Members: Make sure you update your profile on the Guild website.
As an artist member you may create your own website on your profile page and set up six albums of 50 images each after you have logged into our website: http://www.sdmaag.org.
Many of you have not yet done so. I encourage you to take advantage of this promotion of your work since, when someone googles The San Diego Museum of Art, the Guild website also shows up.
Another Guild benefit is that you may announce exhibitions you are in on the Guild website.
After you have logged into http://www.sdmaag.org as a member, hover over Artists List and click on Artists Forum in the drop-down menu. The member blog will open. You can then click on
Create Topic to write a blog entry that will show up on our home page.
