Hi Mischa,
when you began speaking of your project, I thought you were thinking to a sort of " European Portrait Society" but now I read what you have written, it seem to be more like an artists guild like in the past... What do you mean exactly by " Art club" ?

Ok, I think the first thing is to establish clearly the status of what you want to do ( association, organization, guild, society...) and to write the mission statement : the goals and artistic objectives.
Doing that will help poeple to decide if they want to get involved, because it's necessary to know in what you will involve.

Second idea which comes to my mind, is that you should attend at least one big event like the annual conference of the Portrait Society Of America, to study from the inside how they organize things. Your expertise in the humanitarian field is very impressive, but I'm sure there would be a lot of things to learn which are specific to the artistic environment.
Maybe it would be a good idea to contact founders of such organization to see if they have some advices to share...
I thought also you can study the website of a young society like the Portrait Society Of Canada which was founded only 6 years ago to see the differents steps of the developpement.
Ok, these are my first ideas for the moment.
I'm very optimist that it can work!
