UPDATE
Editors
Laura recognized
the work of Sharon Wasserman, editor of UPDATE for the year 2000. There was a call for suggestions for column topics to
be given to the editors for 2001, Ruth Wallach and Patricia Siska.
Among the suggestions which came forth were bibliographies, theme
articles, notable exhibits, woman's art centers in local areas,
biobibliographies of woman artists, new books and institutional publications on
women and art topics. K. Wasserman
reminded us that the National Museum of Women in Art produces an ongoing list of
exhibitions.
WAART Listserve
C. Goldsmith will
set up an un-moderated open list.
Web Site
The Women and Art Round Table Web site, created by Susan Clarke, was reviewed. A brief discussion followed. The white and yellow design won the vote. Further discussion of the content and other features will take place over the electronic mailing list. Once more content is added, the web site will officially be linked to the ARLIS homepage.
2002 conference in St. Louis.
A call was made for proposals. It was suggested that we need to find the names of women artists in the St. Louis area. E. Petraits, an artist herself in St. Louis, will look into this. Further suggestions were:
a possible contact for a speaker from a group of women artists in St. Louis.
2) a connection with the Women's Caucus for the Arts, especially if there is a chapter in St. Louis.
a "women writing for the arts" activity which could be a workshop proposal.
Further discussion of these and other proposals will take place on our list when it is up and running. St. Louis conference will be meeting with VRA.
Miscellaneous
M. Juarez, Moderator for 2001-2002, has a vision for 50 people attending the next Women and Arts Round Table so we can have a bigger impact in ARLIS. He believes that we should send out more invitations. This year we sent out an invitation and many people responded.
M. Juarez asked
for clarification on the roles of officers.
This can be a discussion over the listserve.
Daniel Star,
incoming ARLIS V.P, was Introducted to the membership.
C. Goldsmith is our representative for D. Star, and also the Canadian
Liaison for ARLIS.
