Re: non-profits,
As I said, the CSP practiced just-in-time cash flow to the journal, which
took up 99 percent of the organization's resources, because we paid the
editor and the printer.  Scott Berglin, of KB etching press (now distributed
by Daniel Smith) was the main fund-raiser.  The board polled the members of
the CSP and found that they didn't want all the resources of the
organization going to the journal, which they thought was an excellent
journal, by the way.  The journal now has guest editors.  Some members
exited the board and leadership went to a man with previous experience with
a non-profit organization, who was wisely more afraid of bankruptcy than of
the hazards of demanding financial responsibility from the factions.  I am
hoping he will be able to find the organization a location at the Presidio,
but realistically, the organization has been functioning as a volunteer
group for many years, and having an office would mean paying an employee
again, which means generating income.  If anyone can do it, Dan Robeski can
do it.  He heads up a wonderful non-profit art gallery in Vallejo, which has
hosted many printmaking shows, and he is an excellent printmaker.  I still
participate in shows, but I have been off the board for several years, so I
don't know what is going on anymore.

Hi all, just trying to keep up w/all the posts here, I've been busy as usual!
Graham, I'd like one of the Barens you were talking about in a recent post, 
so keep me posted!
Congratulations Kat on the PrintAlliance exhibit.
I have a piece up in a show called On/Of Paper at Adams State College in 
Alamosa, Colorado - I just got the announcement cards and there is at least 
one other Barener in the show, David Molhallatee, there are probably others 
there too, I haven't had a chance to check all the names on the card.
best wishes all,
Sarah

John Root and I had a jaw (meeting) tonight and we kicked around some 
ideas about improving what he had made for me.  Things are looking 
good.

John will be in touch with everybody on this forum with all the 
details and timing.

Place your orders as John is on the server.

Bye the bye..... I mentioned months ago about the way to simplify 
tying on the bamboo husk.  Well to night we kinda broke the husks on 
a baren so I will be having to put a new one on and will show my 
technique.  It is amazingly simple but amazingly effective.

Until then.....

Graham

Last night I was at a meeting with editors for THE LISTENING EYE, an
annual Little Magazine
of poetry out of Kent State University's Geauga Campus.  Grace Butcher,
Editor for the magazine, says this is what they are looking for, artwise:

There is a cover contest entry:  they are looking for a photo, drawing,
design of any sort that relates, by any stretch of the imagination, to
the magazine's title.  (woodcuts are great for this)  

5 x 7 format
black and white,
good contrast
#30 prize for winning entry

In addition to the cover, winning artist's work will be published
throughout the magazine.  Send up to six pieces.

Please include a cover letter with brief biographical data.  

All submissions must be accompanied by a self-addressed stamped envelope
(full amount of 
postage) for notification and return of materials; otherwise, they will
be discarded.

The Listening Eye is published once a year in the late summer/early fall.

For queries and correspondence, you may write to graceb@geocities.com
But submissions, of course, must be sent by regular mail only:

Kent State University
at Geauga
14111 Claridon Troy Road
Burton, Ohio 44021
