BOARD & COMMITTEE NOTES LETTER FROM OUR PRESIDENT:
Dear Members,
Spring is here (at least officially) and we're heading into our busiest time of the year. This month is the Spring Show. Please bring your friends and neighbors to see our show and vote on their favorite piece (probably yours). And before long, we'll have Art in the Park, the Golf Fundraiser and the Judged and Juried Show. If you haven't had a chance to volunteer for anything this past winter, please sign up to help with one of our events. Also, we can always use more hands on sprucing up the landscape. Thank you for allowing me to be part of such a vibrant group. Linda Carr, President
VICE PRESIDENT & MEMBER SERVICES: Nina Hardison & Susan Smathers “Member Services” has been busy this month with orientations.
Susan did an orientation for Linda Myers. I had orientation for
five new members; Ginney Dilk, Jim & Mary Ann Huffman and
Ellen and Mark Sebby. Please welcome these new members at
our next function.
♦ Coordinators have been notified of the newbies committee
selections. Please give them a call and share your committee
volunteer activities.
♦ Hospitality needs a coordinator to work with these committee
volunteers. Please let me know if you would like to volunteer.
♦ Kitchen Cleanup - We are getting rid of all the excess cups in
the kitchen. If you have more than one cup in the cabinet, please
take it home. Thank you members for all you do. Ninabelle
There will be a New Member Orientation for April on
Friday, April 26th
at 10AM to noon.
FINANCIAL Dawn Robb The Art Guild is “TAX EXEMPT”. This means that if you
purchase something for the Art Guild, you need to fill out a
“Tax Exempt” form because we do not pay sales tax.
So---Please do not let a vendor charge you sales tax. There are
tax exempt forms in the office. Please Use Them. It’s almost
impossible to get a vendor to reverse the sales tax if it’s been
paid. Thank you. Dawn
WAYS & MEANS Susan Midleton The Big Payback annual
giving day is returning on Thursday, May 2, and the Art
Guild is excited to take part in this monumental event.
Cont. on page 4

The Art Guild at Fairfield Glade is a not-for-profit 501c (3) organization and an equal opportunity provider.
The Big Payback, hosted by The Community Foundation of
Middle Tennessee, is a community-wide giving day that
celebrates Middle Tennessee’s spirit of generosity and supports
the life-changing work of area nonprofits. Kicking off at midnight on Thursday, May 2, the 24-hour online
giving day helps organizations, like the Art Guild, raise much-
needed funds and bring awareness to pressing needs in our
community. Since its inception in 2014, Middle Tennessee’s annual day of
giving has raised more than $9.3 million for nearly 1,000 area
nonprofits, including schools and religious institutions.
Participating organizations have received gifts from 18,806
NEW donors we may have not otherwise reached. We hope you’ll support The Art Guild at Fairfield Glade and our
mission to expand our Adult and Children’s Outreach programs
on Thursday, May 2 during The Big Payback. For the past 4
years, more than 400 youth have attended summer art classes
and art classes for homeschooled students at no charge because
of the fundraising efforts of our guild members, community
grants and sponsorships, and private donations. Over 100 senior
citizens in the past 3 years have greeted our member/instructors
each month with enthusiasm as they meet at the Fair Park Senior
Center in Crossville, TN for an afternoon of art instruction
including drawing, painting in various media, coloring, jewelry
making, and fiber arts. Public donations and state grants make
these activities possible at a very small fee for the senior
population. Without the revenue from the once a year Big
Payback event, many of these events would be reduced.
THREE WAYS TO DONATE
1. If you wish to donate by mail, please send a check, made out to Art Guild at Fairfield Glade, to The Art Guild at Fairfield Glade, 451 Lakeview Dr., Fairfield Glade, TN 38558, Attn: Treasurer-Big Payback.
2. If you wish to use a credit card, in person, for
your donation, you may come to the Art Guild, 451 Lakeview Drive, Fairfield Glade, TN on Thursday May 2 between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. where processing for the event will be available.

scholarship winner will be invited to the Guild's June general
meeting, to meet members and share the student’s artist plans
for the fall.
CHILDREN’S OUTREACH: Cindy Howson ● Fairfield Glade Rotary Club graciously asked me to speak at
their March meeting/ luncheon. I was able to share the amazing
work of the Children's Outreach, throughout the year. I shared a
brief description of our home school program, our yearly
summer art program and our new monthly art class for the
young men of the CCS. The Rotarians were very interested in
being a part of the children’s art outreach and will provide some
financial support, soon. ● REMINDER: SUMMER ART CLASSES
We are looking for teachers & helpers for our weekly summer
art program. Classes begin on Wednesday June 5th and will
continue through August 7th
. Time: 1:00 - 2:00 PM.
Please contact me to join the fun!

● HOME SCHOOL STUDENTS: Jane Harding taught the lesson for the Children’s Home School
Class in March. 15 young artists created their own stencils and
explored the use of pastel to design beautiful artwork! Some
children loved the medium, some found it too messy (if you can
believe that!), but all were good sports and gave it a try.

MEMBERSHIP NEWS & INFORMATION ON SATURAY MARCH 9, THE AG HELD
“HIGH SCHOOL DAY AT THE ARTGUILD”
Artists....a very big thank you for sharing your time&
talents with the young people from Crossville high school.
Their teacher, as well as the students, thoroughly enjoyed
a full day of having fun with art!
The girls were all delighted with their jewelry, and the
other group didn’t want to stop the creative results being
enjoyed with alcohol ink.
The afternoon Life Drawing was truly successful. Using
an easel for the first time was a challenge for some, but
they all tried it. Billie Faye modeled first, then their
teacher, Ginger Slate....then they all wanted to take
turns, until we ran out of time.
The smiles and laughter proved their satisfaction.
They were all hugging their projects and art supplies as
they also tried to hug us on the way out to their bus.
What a joy it was to provide this opportunity to view “a real
art gallery”, as well as “do art with real artists”!
I think we made an impression that will stay with them
for a long time. I hope we can do this again.
Could someone write a grant for this?
It was a delight to be a part of this day...

Because of You...Claudia Kirkpatrick When did you join the Art Guild?
I joined in 1990.
What drew you to the guild?
The gallery. This is also why I wanted to move here.
Are you an Artist? If so, what type?
I am a painting artist in Watercolor, Pastels, Oils, Acrylic and Mixed Media.
What roles/positions have you served at the AG?
I joined and became Treasurer. I have been Vice-President and President. I have chaired the Exhibits Committee
several times, been Membership Coordinator, Finance Committee member, By-Laws Committee, etc.
I was Art Guild advisor for the Grand Opening Show for the new Art Circle Library, I was Garden Club winner
with show and reception at the Palace Theater sponsored by the Vista and have been interviewed for the Art Guild
on public TV and radio. I have chaired every show and served on some committee every year for 28 years. I have
loved every minute of it even if I was challenged and out of my comfort zone.
What ideas did you bring to the Guild that we still use?
I started the Art-i-Facts, implemented the Budget Show for 17 years and started the J & J Show.
What has been your favorite thing about the Art Guild?
Friendship, companionship and inspiration are the benefits and joy of membership. Because of You...Gloria Jean McCracken
When did you join the Art Guild?
I joined the Art Guild shortly after we moved here from Western New York State in the fall of 2003.
What drew you to the guild? I was overwhelmed by the skill level and talent of the Art Guild members who
were (are) so open to share with others.
Are you an Artist? If so, what type?
I had always puttered in arts, crafts, and photography while co-raising our
family and now here was a resource to expand my dreams. I’m a multimedia,
collage artist who sees beauty in the ordinary and extraordinary. I also use the
camera’s eye to see.
What roles/positions have you served at the AG?
I started serving the Guild as VP/ membership, wrote news articles, hosted, taught about famous artists in CCSD
art classrooms, served as Outreach Coordinator, and co-coordinator for what is now known as Creative
Development. Some of my favorite memories include working with a Girl Scout Troop on their art badge, and
bringing high school students into our brand-new facility with a lesson on Rube Goldberg.
What has been your favorite thing about the Art Guild?
My favorite thing about the Art Guild is the spirit of sharing talents and time. It’s our legacy and our future. The Executive Board will be shining the spot light on some of our long time members/leaders in 2019. The goal is to give our newer members an
opportunity to “meet” those of you that have helped to shape the Plateau Creative Arts Center in so many ways.
In the coming months, look for the “Because of You “articles in the Art-i-Facts, on our website and on the studio wall. Thanks to Al Hansen for planting
the seed to recognize this special group. Any questions, feel free to let me know. In the meantime, enjoy learning more about our history and the amazing
volunteers that make up part of the back bone of the PCAC. Pam Woodhouse
