What Does that Workshop Committee Do Anyway?!
What the Workshop Committee Does!
The Committee strives always to act professionally and with the utmost respect and positive support of PSNM and its goal is to help achieve one of PSNM’s founding objectives:
“To provide educational programs for its members and other interested parties”
PSNM members range from advanced through intermediate to beginners in pastel. With a wide range of skill levels to satisfy, the committee conducted a survey of members to determine favored skills, topics, days and formats. Based on the survey results, we developed the economical two-day Skill Builder Workshops based on topics from the survey. They are held during the first, third and fourth quarters each year. PSNM members and non-members are welcome, and enrollees can choose to attend one or both days. The committee is responsible for the instructors, locations, marketing, enrollments, and all other logistical support for these events.
During the second quarter of the year, this committee is also proud to coordinate a multi-day workshop presented annually during MasterWorks of New Mexico.
To support us in these efforts, we ask everyone to contact the committee directly with questions, requests (whether for enrollments or payments) and suggestions relating to workshops.
Committee Accomplishments to Date
Starting in summer, 2023:
- Collaborated fully to create a foundation of accessible workshops with relevant subject matter and experienced instructors at a reasonable cost to enable all our members to become better artists and more engaged in PSNM.
- Arranged for two successful Skill Builder workshops: Fall 2023 lead by Paul Murray and Winter 2024 with Vasili Katakis. A third quarter 2024 workshop is in the planning stages. It will be on effective use of color, led by Sarah Blumenschein.
- Arranged for a three-day MasterWorks Workshop in April 2024 with Lorenzo Chavez, Landscape Painting Indoors.
- Encouraged cross-committee communication and idea sharing to enhance member engagement in PSNM.
- Formed a strong bond, fully enjoy each other's company and support and celebrate our artistic milestones. This has a ripple effect among PSNM members who have attended the workshops, and continue to share ideas, support, encouragement and artistic development.
