[BAS Newsletter] BAS members, teachers and exhibitors and our website

[Adrian Fowle]

We continue to build our new BAS website. We would like to feature more 
links to our members.

MEMBERS

If you have a website or a social media presence for your art, we would 
like to link to it from our website, if you are willing. The current 
version of the website does not have such a good gallery system yet as 
the old one, and this will be the best way of showing off the huge range 
of talent that our members have. We also want to create more of an 
online community. Of course we hope you will link back to the Bromley 
Art Society Website. www.bromleyartsociety.org.uk.

Please send an email to Jules jules.pew at gmail.com with your details. 
Please include a VERY SHORT description of what you do. We may not use 
that in the first instance.

Emily Brand and Sophie Lyons lead our own social media channels. Emily 
is interested in short bios of members and similar copy.


MEMBERS WHO TEACH

We have been meaning to create a directory of local art teachers and 
courses for some time. This is it! Please note it is intended for 
teachers who are members only. Do encourage your students to join BAS! 
As you know we welcome members of all levels of talent from beginners 
upwards - and actually even non-painters who wish to see the 
demonstrations.

Please send an email to Jules as above with your name, contact details 
and a SHORT description of what you offer. Mediums, age and talent range 
etc and geography. This is not the place for a long exposition and we 
reserve the right to edit it - but if your contact details include a 
website you can put the rest there. Please include an email address for 
Jules to use, but we won't include those in the display to avoid spam 
for you. At a later date we may be able to create a contact system that 
is secure.


MEMBERS WHO EXHIBIT

We are happy to include members' exhibitions either on the website or in 
these emails depending on our resources. Please email me for that 
adrian at fowle.co.uk with the details


WHAT WE DO WITH YOUR DETAILS

As a society we try to use only digital communications with members. 
This is cheaper and better for the environment and nearly everyone can 
manage this now. We collect your name, postal address, telephone number 
and email address as a member and ask you to check them every year at 
renewal. We do not use these details in the membership database for any 
purpose other than running the society and contacting members. We also 
ask for details of your preferred media and art types. We use this 
occasionally to ensure we provide talks of interest to members. We may 
also need your expertise if you have an unusual artistic interest. We do 
not provide these details to third parties.

If you also provide your details for links to websites, social media or 
teaching information, as in this email,  then we will put those on a 
publicly accessible part of the website and / or in our own social media 
presence.
