Past Presidents




In September of 1996 the members decided to have a full roster of officers.  Karen Trask
was elected president and she gave birth to "The Collage", our newsletter


Russ Larson was president from May  1997 to May  1999.  The number of officers
was increased that year to share the work.


Michelle Williams became president from May 1999 to May 2001.  She conceived the
idea of a fundraiser: "Chair-ish the Moment" in 2000.  Members painted chairs
for that auction.  Michelle also started the 50/50 draw, and started mailing
out the Fountain Hills Art League newsletter.


Joan Campbell became president in May of 2001.  The fundraiser that year was "Reflect
on the Moment".  The 2002 fundraiser was "Hang on to the Moment".  Joan initiated
the twice-a-month Open Studio sessions in the Art Room at the new Community Center.


Karen Trask served as president from May 2003 to May 2004 and the fundraiser
was "Savor the Moment" which auctioned cookbooks and aprons.


Susan Harding, vice president, served as acting president in 2004/2005


Barbara Drake served as president in 2005/2006 and the fundraiser was "Table
Fables" which auctioned tables painted by the members.


Dennis Weber served as president in 2007/2008.  The fundraiser was "Treasure Chests
and Trunks" and 20% of the proceeds were donated to the Fountain Hills High School Arts
and Music Program, another first for the Art League.  Also during his term, the first juried
art show was held at the Brio Fine Arts Center.  The Art Walks were also initiated during
his reign.  Other accomplishments: the Fountain Hills Art League web site was created,
and for the first time, membership was opened to artists outside of Fountain Hills.
