Another year is coming to a close and I wish to express my gratitude to each of you who participated in some way in the success of EPAA. We have had a year of many changes, yet we managed to accomplish a great deal. We will have held 34 exhibitions at Crossland Gallery, we had a successful Spring Show, America the Beautiful and Western Impressions, and the 44th Arts International was a big success. We awarded over $8000 in cash and sold around $11,000 worth of art at AI. Many, many people walked through the halls of Cancer Treatment Institute West and were able to enjoy the fruits of our efforts.

The leadership at EPAA is busy working to upgrade our bylaws and rules, and we hope this will bring positive change for the coming years. We hope to have the new documents ready in January for the membership to vote on. We welcome all members, new and longtime, to join us in bringing you a great year of art, exhibitions and, and camaraderie for 2012. I wish each of you a healthy and artful holiday season and new year.

President
