Artists and arts organizations need to focus on the same revenue, branding, and recruitment goals that are shared by our colleagues throughout the business community.”
Workshops are open to the public priced at $15 per workshop or $45 for the series. Arts Council members receive discounted pricing of $10 per workshop or $25 for the series.

The body of work I present as an artist depicts an eclectic
collage of lived experience. Underlying each work is a sense of purposeful
inquiry in which I have sought to explore my aesthetic sensibilities, memories,
cultural identity, existence and heart. My artistic experience attends to my
personal aesthetic inquiry; eternally questioning the origins my personal
aesthetic and the meaning I make of the world as I create. Furthermore, as an
art educator I have created art work for the purpose of teaching concepts,
techniques, skills, visual culture and aesthetic ways of knowing. This work
represents me in a professional context; as educator, facilitator and
artist-teacher. Media selections are based on the ideas I wish to convey,
but tend to focus on painting, sculpture and photography. All my art work is
signed N. Raymer.

I have been an closet artist most
of my life with some formal training. I received my BFA from California State
University, Northridge, and an MBA from New Mexico Highlands University, Las
Vegas, New Mexico.
After
college I pursued careers in the corporate world and presently own two
businesses. I create art for enjoyment
and want to share it with others and possibly sell it if people are interested.
Painting and drawing has always been a passion
of mine since I was old enough to pick up a pencil. I am constantly growing and
learning as much as I can about painting and drawing and who knows? Maybe I
might become well known in the art community.
I thoroughly enjoy the company of other
artists and those who appreciate it. I am a member of the Huntsville Arts
Council, Huntsville Museum of Art, and the Huntsville Art League.
My goal
is to eventually make it a full time indulgence, and with the urging support from
my family and friends, it just may happen!

I have been painting since childhood. My mediums are water color, acrylic and soft chalk pastels. My subjects are the laughing flowers, birds in flight, colorful scarves, friends celebrating life and the dancing eyes of children. I love to read and write poetry. I am thankful to belong to Huntsville Literary Association and Sundial Writer's corner, WLRH. I am inspired by several creative artists,
painters, musicians and writers in the Tennessee Valley.

Art On The Square- Athens, AL
AOTS Festival 2012
by Diane Lehr
Art On the Square
Arts League will bring the highly anticipated fine arts show to
Athens on Saturday, September 8, 2012. Mark your calendars and don't
miss this chance to see some things in your own community that will blow your
minds; or at least expand them.
Fifty artists will be selected
by an outside panel of jury judges to participate in this fine arts show that
has earned a reputation for being one of the best shows in the region. The
variety of art at the fine arts festival is only surpassed by the quality of
art represented at the free-to-attend, family friendly festival. The backdrop
for the festival is the picturesque downtown with artists taking their places
beneath the shade trees on the Limestone County Courthouse grounds.
The all-art, always-free KidsZone attracts hundreds
of families to The Square in Athens during the festival.
Parents and grandparents arrive early to witness their children ecstatic over
the multitude of hands-on art activities including painting stations, throwing
on the clay wheel, mosaics, public collaborative art creation, and more. Art On
the Square Arts League is inviting top notch high school bands, as
well as several local and regional musicians to perform in numerous places on
The Square that day. The always popular community drum circle attracts
inspired attendees to join them in making this a rhythm nation. Several
performance artists will hoop and dance their way around The Square; and
local authors will offer unique limited edition books for sale that you can't find
just anywhere.
The Alabama Blues Project Advanced
Band is being brought to Athens by AOTS, in partnership
with Athens State University, this year. They will perform on
September 7 at ASU, for students from all over the city and county; and again
during the art festival downtown, on September 8. The Alabama Blues
Project is a renowned non profit organization that hails from Tuscaloosa, and
teaches music through award winning blues programs. The Advanced Band members
are its elite students. Inspired by classic blues and adding a youthful
exuberance, the Advanced Band performances are not to be missed.
Art On the Square
works to measurably improve the quality of life for local
citizens and children by exposing them to the arts, providing artists a
venue for selling their fine creations, bringing cultural events to Athens, and
supporting art education.
The AOTS tagline
says a lot. Art. Experience it. Own it.
For more information about
the AOTS Summer art camps, artist applications, Tshirt competition and
volunteer opportunities, see the website at www.aots-athens.com
Thank you for your support, as we pursue excellence in
