I=92d like to thank this opportunity to thank the volunteers, AANR officers, and Trustees, as well as our regional presidents, Dean, Barbara, and Ted Hadley and the staff of Cypress Cove, and AANR=92s staff for making a great fall meeting of the Board possible.<br>2004 TANR (Trade Association for Nude Recreation) Conference, 12 1-4, Harrah=92s Las Vegas. Please call the AANR office to make your reservations for the conference. This is an excellent conference for businesses involved in nude recreation. Georgie &amp; I will be attending and look forward to seeing many of you in Las Vegas.<br>Water Cooler topic: Is the art world turning upside down? In performing a routine search about what=92s happening in the news media we came across two very recent stories about nudity in the art world.<br>First, there was some relatively good news when a television anchorwoman went nude =93in the name of art=94 while covering a story about famed photographer Spencer Tunick. You can read more about it here: <a href=http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_np=3D0&amp;u_pg=3D1640&amp;u_sid=3D126649>http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_np=3D0&amp;u_pg=3D1640&amp;u_sid=3D126649</a> 8<br>On the other hand, a story also ran about a Nebraska school that censored a painting from an art exhibit over relatively innocuous, =93distant=94 nudity in one painting:=20 <a href=http://www.canada.com/news/oddities/story.html?id=3De81600ac-e>http://www.canada.com/news/oddities/story.html?id=3De81600ac-e</a> 897-4f94-b6e5-e4079de92b84=20<br>Why bring this up? Because in interviewing artists for an upcoming story in The Bulletin about a nude art show to be held at Cypress Cove December 11 – 12, those interviews revealed what 05 be a disturbing trend: fewer and fewer art galleries, shows, and exhibitions are allowing nudity. To these artists, nude art shows are more important than ever because, without them, there would be few if any opportunities to display and sell works.<br>We=92d like to hear from you about whether you=92ve seen more promising developments or disturbing ones. Is the art world, long a safe bastion for the human body, becoming off limits too?
