If the presenter is a member of POSA, then instead we ask everyone present at the meeting to vote. The presenter is introduced and proceeds with their talk or demo. See the Speakers Schedule to see who is talking about what when. The Awards coordinator announces the Artist of The Month winners, and hands out signed certificates, good for showing off to relatives and house guests. Artists take their AOTM entries and goes home, or linger to chat for a few minutes.
Some artists visit the co-op gallery before walking out to their cars.
