Communications

JWS communicates with its members and sponsors through Email notices, Newsletters, Mailings, Facebook, Instagram, and Website. Links to Facebook and Instagram are at the bottom of each page on the website and on the cover of the newsletter.

Make sure your email address is on file with the Membership VP to receive the email notices and newsletters.

In addition,  JWS communicates with the general public through Arbus publications, local news, and cultural councils.  We invite the public to attend JWS meetings, shows and workshops.  

Share your accomplishments and upcoming events on our Facebook page and in the newsletter. We're happy to publish pertinent information that may be of interest to JWS members - upcoming shows, receptions, awards, classes, workshops, items for sale, and info from other arts organizations.

For Newsletter news or website, please contact Karen Zelenkov, Newsletter editor Co-VP Communications. 
For Facebook and Instagram news, please contact Carol Doyle, Social Media editor Co-VP Communications.

1. Newsletters are published Sep-Nov and Jan-May. Only members with an e-mail address will receive a digital copy of the Newsletter via email each month.  Others may go on the website and download a copy and print if desired.  If a member is not receiving newsletters or news blasts via email, please go to Membership to verify your name on the membership list or contact the VP of Membership.  A list of archived newsletters, including the most current issue, is available below.

2. Trifolds (archived) had generally been published in September for Fall events and in January for Spring events.  Trifolds were changed in 2023 to a generic version that could be used for multiple years, without specific references to monthly meetings, workshops, and shows calendar of events.  The generic trifold for 2024 was used for membership campaigns and promoting JWS to non-members with contacts and member application information.  A generic trifold will be maintained online only as a handy reference for members. 

3. Membership Campaign Poster
Our first Membership Campaign Poster contest was held to encourage new people to join JWS. Winners were chosen by anonymous voting from the JWS Board, two paintings were selected to represent JWS in our efforts to spread the word about our Society! We are very excited to have the posters printed and displayed in various locations such as libraries, art stores or other locations that will give the public more information about JWS. We will also be printing postcards and pamphlets! Feel free to reach out to Heather Hill if you have any questions about the program or would like to participate if the contest is offered in November 2025. Click Here to the two winning posters.
