February 1998
Greetings from your Director:
Welcome to Part II of ATOA's season!
We're all back for the second semester. But school was never this naughty. We open with a panel on erotic art featuring three artists who know their subject along with New York magazine critic Mark Stevens. (See our Winter/Spring '98 Calendar.)
Then we return to the ATOA book of knowledge. New board member Fran Kornfeld will be providing us with representatives from a raft of disciplines in "Making it in New York." (No, we are not back to the erotic.) Then program committee member Isabella Jacob presents "Courting the Muse" (No, we are not back to the erotic.) And Mary Harris, author of the definitive book on the subject, conducts a panel about the fabled Black Mountain College.
We welcome West Coast art dealer Molly Barnes back to New York for the year. Molly's a seasoned interviewer herself and her ATOA dialogue with John Alexander will make you happy.
And so on . . . culminating in our Curator's Choice evening with the esteemed Maxwell Davidson as juror. Please enter your slides and win the opportunity to be one of three to six presenters in a panel with Davidson on May 1st, the season closer.
On the serious side, ATOA is struggling financially. Most of you will be receiving a plea for a donation in the mail and we'll appreciate anything you can spare. All contributions are fully tax-deductible according to law.
As a fund-raiser and celebration, we are planning a Silver Ball to honor our 25th anniversary in the fall of 1999. We'll need lots of help, so please come for breakfast so we can make plans.
And note, the monthly breakfast meetings are again changing. Due to popular request, they will now be "First Thursdays" and take place at the Time Café, Lafayette Street between 3rd & 4th Streets at 9:45 am on the first Thursday of the month, starting March 5th. Come. We need you there. All our best ideas come from you!
Creatively yours,
Donna Marxer
Executive Director, Artists Talk On Art
