WELCOME TO SUMMER IN THE SOUTH! If you're new here, get used to it! For
those brave artists who painted en plein aire during the Keep Columbus Beautiful Tour of Gardens (the
writer was one), you are either very brave or very stupid. That old saying "It's not the temperature, it's the
humidity" was a laugh, because we had BOTH! All in all, we met some nice people, saw some beautiful
gardens, and have some great paintings to show for our efforts. These paintings will be able to be seen at
the Joseph House Gallery during the coming month. If you go, be sure to get the stories that are sure to
go with each painting! And, if you’re thinking about doing some plein aire painting this summer, remember
the sunscreen, stay hydrated, and wear a hat! You can get heat stroke just from sitting and painting. You
may need bug spray too. If it’s really HOT, the better part of valor is to stay inside and wait for a cooler
moment. If you MUST go out to a particular place, get your water bottle and take a series of photos from
which to work until it’s safe to paint in the weather. Check the guide for First Art Shows on the Helpful Hints
page for other thoughts for being out in the heat and other weather.

Þ FROM THE CULTURAL ARTS ALLIANCE: The Arts invaded Columbus Council Chambers again as
planned, and the Springer’s Paul Pierce outlined our contributions to the community with a flourish. The Arts
pour about $51 million annually into the economy of the city, and employ about 900 full time people.
For every $1 spent on the Arts, $13 are returned to the economy. One of the Councilors suggested we make
a quarterly appearance before Council, and hopefully if that happens we will be put at the beginning of the
agenda. A number of people had to leave before we were given the floor. Those who support the arts or are
involved with the arts need to make themselves heard. Silence does not get us noticed.
