MEETING REMINDER: MONDAY 11/12/07

The next Sparkplug meeting WILL be on Monday, November 12 at 7:30 PM (Yoinks-that’s about 5 days from now!!!!)

Agenda items for November meeting-

~Status of returned surveys
~10 – 12 people show slides-talk about work
~Schedule new group to show slides as necessary
~Ideas about ideas
~Do we want to start a list of possible goals for the next 6 months-year?
~Set Agenda for December meeting

The presentations are supposed to be no longer than 10 minutes a piece (which adds up to 1 hour and 20 minutes if we do all 12 people - add a half hour for other issues and realize this could be about a 2 hour meeting.)

We realize some of you may be bringing actual small works to talk about, but just in case you were thinking to have your jpgs projected Jenny has not received jpgs from anywhere near 12 people – so if you were at the October meeting and want you work projected make sure to send them to her ASAP!

Please submit your digital images (NO MORE THAN 5!) in jpeg format to me at jenny.walton@gmail.com before November 10th! Please make them a reasonable size and know that they will be projected.

The 12 presentation slots are already filled for the November Meeting. **However, to get your work in the line-up for December, please submit them here as well. Slots are filled on first come first serve basis.**

We will be projecting in the gallery-so if you are free and want to come 15 minutes early to help set up that's awesome. Snacks and beverages that people bought last time were also awesome.

Looking forward to continuing our discusions and hoping these first talks will assist us all in coming up with themes and working relationships with the groups work and give us an idea how and where to move from here.

What is DCAC's Sparkplug?

Currently composed of eight DC area artists and curators, DCAC's SPARKPLUG meets regularly to discuss their work, explore common concerns, grow their community and dream up creative engagements both in DC and around the world. Through its support of Sparkplug, DC Arts Center provides meeting space, legal and technical resources and exhibition opportunities to emerging artists, curators and arts writers without current gallery representation or institutional employ. Via a continuing dialogue encompassing the theoretical and the practical, the group’s members share experiences, perspectives, preoccupations, challenges, and topics informing their ongoing artistic practice.



The goal of DCAC's SPARKPLUG is to identify superior artists, curators and arts writers without current gallery representation or institutional employ, provide an environment to help foster their development, provide legal, technical and other resources, and provide opportunities for them to exhibit both in DC and around the country.



DCAC's SPARKPLUG will actively seek its membership from all communities in the Washington, DC region with the goal of bringing together emerging artists and curators with a broad range of backgrounds and experiences, a diversity of professional preoccupations and creative visions.
