Message from Blair Campbell, Board President: Thank you to everyone who donated to our December Annual Fund Drive. We earned $4670 in contributions, and your support is most appreciated!
Thanks as well to everyone who voted in our three new board members: Michael Heacock, Gail Robertson, and Barry Toranto.
The 2012 Annual OHCA Members’ Meeting offers a great opportunity to meet new board members, hear from outgoing Board President Michael Tarnoff about the Center’s accomplishments in 2011, and share our vision for what’s in store for 2012. As incoming Board President, I’d also welcome the opportunity to get to know you all better and truly hope that you’ll attend! Wednesday, January 25, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Light refreshments will be provided.
A Memorial for Annie Styron Leonard will be held Saturday, January 21, from 3 to 5 p.m. at the Community Congregational Church in Tiburon. Ed Sattizahn of the Vimala Sangha will be leading the services, and there will be a display of some of Annie’s artwork. Address: 145 Rock Hill Drive, Tiburon. Phone: 415.435.9108.

Celebrate all things red this February with O’Hanlon Center and Toni Littlejohn! What does “Red” mean to you, and how do you optimize its vibrancy in your work? Does it mean guilt, sin, passion, or anger? Or does it represent sex, lust, love, hope, happiness, and beauty? How about blood, danger, sacrifice, courage, valor, or loyalty? Honor, success, fortune, or wealth? Perhaps summer, heat, and warmth? What about Communism, Socialism, or just plain-old revolution? Any way you use it, we’d like to see it! Pieces should be predominately red in color. Abstract and expressionistic works encouraged.
Media: Any media, including photography. Must be ready to hang or display. All works should be labeled with the artist’s name, telephone, medium, size, and price, if for sale.
By taking part in the show, artists agree to a 30% tax-deductible donation to the Center from all sales. Open to artists aged 18 and over.
Dates for exhibition entries: Please hand-deliver (no slides or photos) up to three pieces of work to OHCA on Friday, February 3, between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. or on Saturday, February 4, between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. We will notify you (preferably by email) about whether your work has been accepted by Monday, Feb. 6 at 5 p.m.
Those works not accepted must be picked up Tuesday, February 7 between 12:30 p.m. and 8 p.m., unless alternative arrangements are made. There is a limit of three works per artist. Include biographical information and your email address if you have one. When you drop off your art, we will give you information about hanging/showing and Gallery policies. Gallery requirements are that insurance coverage is provided by the Artist and that accepted work must remain on view for the duration of the exhibition.
Retrieval of Unsold Art: Unsold work must be picked up on Tuesday, Feb. 28 between 2 and 4 p.m., or on Wednesday, February 29, between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Artists leaving their work after this time will be charged $5/day for storage unless prior arrangements have been made.
February in the Loft Gallery: Elise Cheval: A Woman for All Seasons Elise continually breaks new ground with her inventive pieces. She is not afraid to use unconventional media and the results are always provocative. See her caste tape sculptures, her reclaimed bag dresses, and more—all using materials that would otherwise have been discarded. Elise will sing at the opening on February 7 in the Loft, and there will be a bell concert.
