President’s Message

:Hello fellow CSA members,

We have a few opportunities I want to make you aware of.

First,  Art in the Park is back and thanks to Al Knight, it is looking like it will be a fun event. He has partnered with Ex Novo to serve alcohol, has several food trucks lined up and music and a vibrant advertising campaign. We just need artists! There are two dates and sign up is recommended before the event for the early bird discount. You can still show up the day of and set up, the fee is just increased. Dates are June 29th and Oct 5th.  Details on our Events page:  CSA Events

Please use these links to pay.

June 29th  Art in the Park     Art in the Park June 29 registration

October 5th Art in the Park    Art in the Park October 5th registration

The second is our annual Fine Arts Show. The application opens up on June 15th. We are well underway on planning the show. Please see the Call for Artists:  CSA Events

Third, Kiwanis is still looking for artwork for their t-shirt and poster contest for the Corrales Harvest Festival. If you are interested please contact Tony Messec at 505-328-6338. There is a cash reward.

Finally, it is with very much heartache that I have made the decision to step down as President. This has been a very hard decision for me to make but I just cannot keep up with all the things I have going on right now. I have accepted a promotion at my job and the learning curve has been very steep. I need some time to be able to focus on this. Beth Waldron-Yuhas has agreed to step up in my stead. I hope everyone is as kind to her as they have been to me. I have really enjoyed this experience as well as working to better the art community in Corrales. Beth will be fantastic as a leader, and she has a great team behind her! Please be on the lookout for an email from her in the next couple of weeks and add her to your favorites list.

Thank you,

Jenn Noel
Former CSA President
