La Galleria
A Newsletter of the Whitmoyer Art Studio & Gallery
February 2009 Issue 8
Here I am, bringing you a new version of "La Galleria" the newsletter of the Whitmoyer Art Studio and Gallery.
I find myself very busy lately and I am trying to streamline my activities and commitments in order to keep up with everything. One thing that has been affected by my lack of time and organization has been the newsletter. I am sure you have noticed that the last few months it has been late. In an attempt to streamline the newsletter I have decided to publish it exclusively on this blog. This will save me the time and technical frustration it takes to compose it in "Word" and then upload it on the website. Since most of you are on my e-mailing list I will also cut down on the printed version. A few printed copies will still be available at the Gallery if you would like to pick it up.
I hope this will not inconvenience anybody, but make it easier for you as well. I will send an e-mail notifying you when the newsletter will be posted for the next few months. I do however highly recommend that you subscribe to this blog (if you are not already doing so) so you will be notified every time I post an article or event. Subscribing of course is free, and will not fill your mail box with junk, just a short reminder when an item is posted.
One of the benefits of the blog version is to make the newsletter more interactive. You will be able to post your comments or ideas directly to the blog, as well as your own events or announcements.
Of course in the end it will be your response to determine if this format will work or not, so please feel free to let me know your thoughts!

It's Carnevale Time Again!
Mark your calendar for this very special Second Friday Event: February 13th, from 6 to 9 pm we will celebrate Mardí Gras Italian Style, with a Carnevale masquerade ball.
We kicked off this event last year and, in my opinion, it has been our most fun event so far. We had fabulous costumes, scores of confetti and streamers, beads, music, dancing, food, drinks and tons of fun! Check out the photos and videos on http://www.whitmoyerartstudio.com to see for yourself.
Come and celebrate with us, share your traditions and learn new ones, make memories and set trends. Wear a costume, mask, headdress, makeup, anything fun and colorful. Come
ready to dance, eat, make friends and have fun! If you have a traditional dish for this time
of year, or just anything festive and creative, bring it along to share.
Although I have not had a formal confirmation yet, I am planning on enlisting the help of the "Susquehanna International Folk Dancers" to bring some action to the event.
I have been looking forward to this event for months. Let's make it special together!
International Women's Day
March 8th is International Women's Day. It has been a tradition very dear to me since I was a young girl in Italy, and on this day I would get together with my girlfriends and go out to dinner, maybe dancing, and just celebrate being a woman.
This year we will hold a Ladies' Tea here at the Whitmoyer Art Studio and Gallery to celebrate "The Art of Being a Woman". This is an occasion for women to meet other women in the area and share stories and experiences, as well as some treats and tea.
If you have a special story about womanhood, be it a success story or a struggle, if you are doing something special for yourself as a woman or for other women, if you have a woman-owned business or a woman-oriented business. If you have a lesson to teach, or an experience or skill to share, I invite you to contact me to set up a presentation time.
Of course every woman is invited to participate, even if she just want to have a friendly cup of tea and see what it is all about!
