PAS-SO
MISSION
STATEMENT Rev. 2
October 08, 2008
The Plein
Air Society of Southern Oregon
“PAS-SO” was formed in
2004 to provide a forum for regional artists who share a
passion for Plein Air. Participants range from professionals
to amateurs
Goal
Our goal
is to bring all levels of active plein-air artists together to explore
and develop the tradition of plein-air painting, develop camaraderie
and to become better
artists.
We strive to promote an awareness and appreciation of our art by
displaying
and
selling our work in exhibitions and on the PAS-SO.com website.
Membership
Membership
is by invitation. Guests are invited on paint outs.
After a guest has attended three or more paint outs in one year, the
"guests
sponsor" may propose the guest for membership, and if the committee
concurs the guest becomes a PAS-SO
member.
Maintenance
of the PAS-SO.com web site is
by payment of annual dues for those who choose to participate. Dues are based
on cost of web site
maintenance. Currently Members will be assessed $.50
per
month or $6.00 per year.
When
exhibits of PAS-SO art
develop, participating members are encouraged
to help with various tasks to make them successful, and to share in the
costs
of producing Plein Air Shows.
A
three person Steering Committee will be chosen by consensus
annually. The Steering Committee will guide development of the group,
negotiate
for show sites, and determine the time and location of paint outs.
Other
committees will be formed as necessary. All members are encouraged to
seek and
recommend painting sites.
Any
successful organization needs a little structure to ensure healthy
development. Having said that, we resolve to “keep our eyes on
the
ball”, which is to paint outdoors and have fun in a safe environment.
Everything else
is secondary.
