Did you know…
Zendoodling (and doodling in general) can regulate dopamine levels in the brain, helping to manage distractibility and anxiety. The next time you need to relax, pick up a pen and paper and try this self-help art therapy practice. It’s a great way to melt your troubles away for a while and get into a better mood.
Membership
Traditionally, December is the month to renew annual memberships. All annual memberships officially expire on December 31. Next year’s calendar promises to be as full as 2025 — a great incentive to take care of your dues early.
To keep your membership current, please pay your $45 annual dues before the February elections. The convenient deadline for 2026 memberships (to vote in February) is the January 19 meeting.
Members renewing or re-joining may pay their annual dues at any GBAA meeting or by contacting:
Current treasurer: Lisa Codella (727-1434)
Membership: Maquelle Monroe (441-5112)
Artists who are brand new to the GBAA must fill out an online application to: newmembers.gbaa@gmail.com. The process involves submitting five JPEGs of their artwork for the Board to review eligibility. New applications will be reviewed only twice each year: in November and May.
Art Lucaya
The next Art Lucaya is May 1–3, 2026, under the theme: Dream Big. Deadline to register is March 20. For further details, use this link:
