Hello Wood Art Alliance Community!

We hope you're having a safe and inspiring start to your summer as conferences, classes and residencies are in full swing!

It has been a pleasure to meet familiar and new faces at various events this season. It's been great to get back out and meet each other in person!

Spotted at The Furniture Society Conference were WAA Member Vivian Chiu and WAA Social Media & Admin Director Katie Thompson. WAA President John Beaver is always on the go, with several WAA members attending the AAW Conference earlier this month as well. If you have photos you'd like to share with us please feel free to send them our way by responding to this email.

A friendly reminder to keep your Wood Art Alliance profiles and work portfolios as updated as possible. We are always looking to promote you and your work and your WAA profiles are the first place we look. Please let us know if we can help you with getting yours set up.

It's also important to keep your portfolios updated because other people are looking, too! For website visits we've had 534 visitors so far today alone. We've had 1,971 visitors so far this week and 17,956 this month. Year to date, we've had 127,708 total website visits and growing. You can't afford to not take advantage of the visibility your WAA portfolio could bring you!
