SUMMER SHOW PUBLICITY REPORT Posters and invitations have been printed and distributed to the membership—in preparation for use closer to the date of the show. At this point in time, submissions have been made to the Nanaimo Art Gallery, Art Avenue Magazine, Opus Newsletter, Island Arts Magazine, Swankyants Website, and Harbour Living Website. Closer to the date, submissions will be made to The Bulletin Newspaper, The Daily News, Harbour City Star and the Ladysmith Chronicle, Shaw Cable TV, Channel A TV and several radio stations. Word-of-mouth advertising is very effective; I hope the many members in the Chapter will remember to take the opportunity to mention the Show to the many people that they meet in their daily routines. Have a great show. Larry Frieson |

Hello fellow artists and lovers of summer!!!!!!! In 2009 the Nanaimo Chapter of the Federation of Canadian Artists commemorated its twentieth anniversary by giving back to the local community in the form of a donation of a piece of art to the Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation. At that time we made a commitment to continue this practice until our silver anniversary celebration in 2014! Hence the name: Legacy 25.
As the summer winds past, I will be reminding you to consider registering a piece to be considered for the 2010 Legacy 25 donation. In order to have the balloting process ready for the general meeting, please register by September 5, 2010 To register send an email (subject Legacy 25 registration). Identify yourself, name the piece, state its size (h x w), its value and attach a digital image.
