2. Communiqué

The Spring 2016 issue of our newsletter The Communiqué is now online at http://arteastottawa.com/PDF_Files/Newsletters/Newsletter%20Spring%202016.pdf . The online version is in full colour. Printed copies (black and white only) will be mailed next week. If you wish to be removed from the mailing list, please email: editor@arteastottawa.com.

Arteast's hard-copy, quarterly newsletter—Communiqué—is popular with our members, but did you know that it is also available on our Web site at http://arteastottawa.com/newsletter.php? A notification when a new issue is released is communicated via the weekly Arteast Digest. Posting of the Web version may be viewed in full dazzling colour, at least two weeks before the print version (black and white) is delivered by Canada Post. With rising postal costs, some members have requested that they be removed from the mailing list for the printed copy. Other advantages of going with the online Communiqué are:
- reduces printing and envelope costs;
- makes Arteast more "green";
- no more hunting for misplaced issues (Arteast's Web site has the current and all back issues).

Printed copies will be available at our monthly Grow With Art meetings and the Promenade Arteast gallery at the Shenkman Arts Centre. If you prefer to read the newsletter online, please e-mail us at editor@arteastottawa.com to have your name removed from the newsletter mailing list.

La copie imprimée du trimestriel d’Arteast – Communiqué – est populaire auprès de ses membres, mais saviez-vous qu’il est aussi disponible sur le site Web http://arteastottawa.com/newsletter.php ? Lors de sa publication, une notice paraît dans l’hebdomadaire Arteast Digest. Sur le Web il peut être lu et vu en couleurs deux semaines avant la version imprimée ( noir et blanc) postée par Poste Canada. Compte tenu du coût postal croissant plusieurs membres ont enlevé leur nom pour l’envoi postal - vers le Web. Il y a d’ailleurs d’autres avantages du Communiqué en ligne tels que :
- réduire les coûts de l’imprimé et de l’enveloppe;
- Arteast plus ‘vert’;
- ne plus être à la recherche du numéro manquant (le Web d’Arteast conserve le numéro courant et les anciens numéros).

Des copies imprimées seront disponibles à la réunion mensuelle L’Art en herbe et à la galerie Promenade Arteast au Centre Shenkman. Si vous préférez lire le Communiqué en ligne, s.v.p. contactez : editor@arteastottawa.com afin d’enlever votre nom de la liste d’envoi.

5. "Gratitude" Exhibition at Foyer Gallery – Call for Photographs

The Foyer Gallery, an artist-run centre in Nepean, is launching a new project: a photography exhibition on the theme of "gratitude." And we want to show *your* photos.
What things in life make you feel thankful and appreciative? It could be anything . . . big things or the little things. Grab your cameras, your phones, whatever you have, and show us the things that make you feel grateful. We’ll publish your photos in an online show, and hang your photos in our gallery this October.
Find our more at www.gratitude.gallery, or watch the video at https://vimeo.com/165327463. Send us your pics and spread the word!
