Send Us Your News

Dear WCA-STL Members,

This blog is a great means of keeping a record of members' shows and events. Please send me an email about what you are doing with a jpeg of your work and I will gladly paste it verbatim to the blog as a new post under the label "member announcements"! This can include shows, fairs, festivals, reviews, family, fundraisers and anything else you would like to announce publicly in a manner that the group has an ongoing record of member news.

I will not edit anything and will merely be cutting and pasting your announcements as I receive them, so make certain your announcements read exactly as you would like them to appear and try to avoid any kind of weird formatting since it can confuse the blog interface. I am unable to check up on this daily, but will try to post announcements once or twice a week.

Thank you and please send announcements to:
wcastlexhibit@charter.net
Let us know what kind of fun and exciting things you are up to!

- Jennifer Weigel
Exhibitions Chair
