Letter from the President, Winter 2010

Dear NRAA members and friends, I want to wish everyone a splendid holiday season. I hope you and your loved ones are in good health and spirits. The winter months are a beautiful time of year to reflect on the past and hope for the future. I am sure the officers and board members join me in offering our very best wishes.

As you may know we had a very productive year. Our regular shows at the library were very well received. The library staff and directors are always raving about us and couldn’t be more appreciative of our efforts. Our special show this year, held in Chelsea, was a rousing success also. The success of the Chelsea show came despite the highway construction and traffic jams. Those of you who braved the roads to support us were treated to a high quality and exciting exhibit. Our refreshments committee put out a great spread as always, and there was a great turnout at the reception. I hope that the show was a memorable and professionally rewarding experience for those artists who participated.

The organization, I am happy to say, is growing, both creatively and in numbers. Eight new members were juried in this past week. We are impacting the community in a positive way. It is obvious to me that our exhibits resonate with the public and that the work we do puts an accent on the cultural life of the city.

Thank you for participating in the success of the NRAA this year in whatever capacity you could. It is a cliché to say, but our shows and special events are made possible only through your generous involvement and support. I hope you will become more active and share your ideas with myself and the board so we can continue our mission to make the arts more visible in our community.

Don't forget to check our website often to find out about our events, news, and updated calendar.

My very best to you and your families.

– Jesse Sanchez, President NRAA
