Presidents Report
There is something to be said
for extended summers. Our
heads are already engaged in
fall activities and the rhythms
of work, but we can still enjoy
the mellowing warmth of
sunny days. Individuals and
institutions can be enriched by
optimism and renewed energy
that a summer sun provides.

Setting Up a Competition:
Setting up a
competition for commissioned work requires a
great deal of initial planning. First steps include
setting a reasonable timeframe, appointing
coordinators to oversee the process, and putting
together a jury and/or curatorial team, as well as
a community advisory committee, when necessary.
Another important step in the process is, of course,
budgetingadministrative, proposal, and maquette
fees all need to be taken into consideration.
Soliciting & Securing Applicants: For open competitions, a call-to-enter notice is required to find
applicants. These notices take the form of either
an RFQ (Request For Qualifications), an EOI
(Expression Of Interest), or an RFP (Request For
Proposal). The call should include information such
as eligibility and location parameters, size of award,
date of first deadline, etc. The commissioning body
also provides a competition brief at some point
during the application process. This should include
the following: the commissioning bodys intentions
for the commission; the location or site of the finished
artwork; relevant histories of the site, community,
or commissioning body; appropriate materials and
restrictions; application process (such as number
of stages, deadlines, and required application
materials); selection process; and intentions with
respect to copyright. There is no standard model
for a Competition Brief, and the details included are
determined by the specifics of each commission
(36). Lastly, it is highly recommended that applicants
sign a participation agreement to ensure that rules
and conditions are being followed.

Zephyr Winds
The title references the Greek god of gentle westerly winds, of spring and the interceder between
the world of the living and the underworld. The
paintings and prints in this exhibition are about
climate change and reinventions. I use amorphous ice floe shapes and in between channel
spaces as conceptual and visual motifs to discuss the changing dynamics of our relationship to
environments.
