Dear JAHF Members,
 
The 2014 CAA is fast approaching and we still have a couple of spots available for our chosa at the Art Institute of Chicago which is scheduled for Thursday, February 13, 2014 at 2:00pm.
 
Janice mentioned that we would be able to see between 10-15 artworks depending on size, but we are limited to only one screen.
Since we are limited to 12 non-staff members in storage at any given time, JAHF members who would like to attend should email Monika Dix and also include a choice of artworks you would like to see. Selection will be on a first-come first-served bases.
 
Please RSVP by Monday, January 20, 2014.
Thank you.
