The Fairfield County Arts Association is a support group for both professional and amateur artists. Its programs give members the opportunity to grow by sharing their work, expertise and talent and to serve as a forum for comment, critique and advice.
All media are included under the term “arts”, including the various forms of painting, sculpting, photography, and almost any creative visual form compatible with the term “art” as determined by the association. All sincere concepts or efforts will be encouraged.
This association is involved with community art-centered activities, such as the downtown Fairfield banner project, the Dogwood Festival and displaying art work at libraries and Town Halls.
Officers:
The officers of the association will consist of President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Program Chairperson, Exhibitions, Membership, Hospitality, Publicity, Newsletter, and Website. Positions may be co-chaired. New positions may be created as necessary.
Executive Board:
The Executive Board is comprised of the President, Vice-President, Treasurer and Program Chairperson. As needed, the Board will meet or conference with each other, other officers and membership.
The Board has general supervision over the business and program activities of the association. Decisions and recommendations having major impact on the association will be announced and discussed with the membership at the next monthly meeting.
Election of Officers:
A nominating committee consisting of two officers and two non-officers appointed by the Executive Board will meet and present a slate of officers by mail, in writing, to the paid membership 30 days prior to the election. The election will be held at a general meeting. Nominations from the floor at a prior meeting and through the mail can be made. If some positions are still open nominations can be made on the day of election. Absentee ballots will also be made available. Only members in good standing can nominate and vote in elections.
