Summer Membership Drive

The summer is always a busy time at the St. Louis Artists' Guild and Summer 2009 is certainly no different! Our first Summer Membership Drive began on July 1st. The aim of the Drive is to reach more individuals with what the Artists' Guild has to offer and to encourage them to become involved in all the unique Exhibitions, Groups and Workshops taking place at the St. Louis Artists' Guild.

As the oldest art guild west of the Mississippi River, we have a rich history that is growing and evolving with today's culture. It's the perfect time to get involved! As a valued member of the St. Louis Artists' Guild, we want your help!

During this Summer Membership Drive (July 1st- Aug 30th), we are offering new members a discounted membership price of $15 for students 21 and under (originally $25), $30 for individuals (originally $65), and $75 for a family (originally $85). For every person you refer who purchases a membership, you will receive $5 of Guild Cash. Simply remind the person you refer to write your name on the provided line on their membership form.

Guild Cash may be used for: purchases in the Guild Gift Shop, Exhibition submittal fees, and enrollment in Classes and Workshops (up to 35% of purchase price). If you have not renewed your membership for 2009, we invite you to take advantage of these discounted prices.

Please take this opportunity to rally around your Guild to increase our membership base and in turn increase our ability to exhibit, support, and promote the visual arts. Thank you! For more details, please visit the Artists' Guild's Web site.

Taste of St. Louis Artist Village 2009

We would like to extend our gratitude for your participation in the Central West End Art Fair and Taste. Thanks to your support, the event was an incredible success. With thousands of patrons in attendance at the event, the St. Louis Artists' Guild received a great deal of exposure resulting in thirteen new members joining the guild. We hope that the Central West End Art Fair and Taste will become a successful annual event that draws the citizens to this beautiful neighborhood for years to come.

Now with the Central West End Art Fair and Taste completed, the St. Louis Artists' Guild turns its attention to the upcoming Taste of St. Louis Artist Village in October.

We would like to personally invite all St. Louis Artists' Guild members to participate in this year's Taste of St. Louis Artist Village. We anticipate drawing over half a million guests to this year's event. The Taste wishes to appeal to a demographic of St. Louis citizens who appreciate higher end food, fine art, and great living. Event attendees will have the opportunity to see the city's artistic talent at the largest art event in St. Louis, the Taste's Artist Village.

This year, the Artist Village at the Taste will be centrally located in the most high traffic area of the event to provide artists with the maximum possible exposure. The Artist Village consists of various artistic events as well as booths set up by individual artists who will also submit a piece of artwork to a juried exhibition. The St. Louis Artists' Guild will jury this year's art exhibition.

We encourage all members to take advantage of this event and enter this year's competition by applying for an artist's booth. The application to participate in the artists' booths as well as the other competitions and events being held at this year's Taste is available here.

As most of you know by now we have transferred to Dielmann Sotheby's International Realty in Clayton, Missouri. This happened about a month ago in June and we couldn't be happier. When an agent finally finds the real estate company that is a great fit for her the heavens open up and you feel a great weight lifted off of your shoulders. It makes a world of difference even in the smallest and biggest of details. It was always important to my team to be with a professional, competent office that encouraged everyone to succeed and provided a positive and helpful atmosphere. Well we have found such a place at Dielmann Sotheby's International Realty in Clayton, Missouri.

When you come to the Pamela Williamson Team for your real estate needs you no longer only have the benefit of the three of us, but also an amazing group at Dielmann Sotheby's International Realty to make sure that it's done correctly and just the right way. The marketing done by Dielmann Sotheby's International Realty is the best of any real estate company that I have seen in St. Louis city and county.

So we not only have a marketing person on our team, but also in the office and they both enjoy what they do! As we all know when you have people on your team that enjoy what they do it makes the work even better. We have tried and true marketing and open house techniques that work and we know how to negotiate for you until the deal is done. We also keep in touch with our clients even after the sale or buy of their home is complete to further help withanything we can. So if you are looking to buy or sell a home right now give us a call at 314-600-2246.

Thanks,

Pamela Williamson

Second Annual Cash & Carry Boutique Warehouse Sale

Expands!

St. Louis, MO - January 11th, 2009 - In just a few years our gateway city has evolved into thinking fashion forward. Local and regional magazines are becoming increasingly fashion conscious, and with Saint Louis Fashion Week heading into yet another year, St. Louisians know a good designer when they see one. Furthermore, most people want an even better price to go along with the label.

The holidays may be over but with the help of 15 select boutiques, St. Louis-area residents are getting another chance to add some last minute panache to their closets. The Second Annual Cash & Carry Boutique Warehouse Sale is set for Friday, January 30^th, 2009 from 6pm-9pm and, Saturday, January 31, 2009 from 9am-4pm. The sale will include thousands of items from the boutiques with mark downs from 50-90 percent off the retail price.

This year the sale extends a day with a VIP Friday night shopping experience, to give people a "first peek" to purchase. There is a $10 entrance fee for this access but, to boost the evening, a cocktail social has been added. Shoppers can relax by not waiting in lines; have a cocktail, and shop, all at once.

As a bonus this year, Cash & Carry will feature more men's and children's designer clothing. The sale will also highlight more women's designer lines including: 7For All Mankind, Joe's, Lilly Pulitzer, Milly, Tory Burch and Twisted Heart. There will be an unlimited amount of women's loungewear, handbags, shoes and accessories showcased.

Dana Radetic, owner of Jillybean stated, "The sale is a great opportunity to move merchandise thus, generating revenue for spring and summer merchandise that is blowing into our stores."

This is by far one of my favorite areas to shop and walk around in Clayton, Missouri. I love the feel of the neighborhoods. The shops and cafes. The other day I went to Clayton Row and just had to get some pictures. There are so many great stores in that stretch off of Clayton Road. Need some new furniture? A fabulous new haircut? Would you like some gourmet food delivered to your home? It's also a great place to go and window shop and walk around. Here are just a few of the stores.

Clayton Row is located between Hanley Rd and Brentwood on Clayton Road. Stop by sometime and look around! :)
