With the new LAA season shortly upon us, you will see many fantastic, new opportunities to participate with fellow LAA artists, and a few changes to our regularly scheduled events. Thanks to all the members who replied to our survey - your input was invaluable! PLEASE READ CAREFULLY! A separate email blast will be going out to our members shortly with a description of all of our events through December of this year. Most of the events that require registration will have a sign-up date of September 6th at 9AM and you will be able to register at that time through our website. The blast will give you a sneak peek at the many exciting tours and interactive opportunities that will be available. In addition to our well-known monthly offerings, we have included a tour of Tybee art galleries, a new member Meet n' Greet, a tour of City Market art galleries, a Plein Air painting group, a tour of S.C.A.D, a 3-day still life oil painting workshop and lunch with an art demonstration. In addition, there will be opportunities to SELL your artwork (the LAA Holiday Market and the Fall Sidewalk Show & Sale) in time for the holiday shoppers. Due to space constraints at the venues, many of the events that require registration are restricted to a small maximum number of participants, so be ready to sign up on September 6th at 9AM on our website (landingsartassociation.com)! Changes to existing events this year: Our GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETINGS with speakers/presenters will now take place on Tuesday afternoons from 4:00 to 5:30 PM at the Skidaway Community Church and will be held on October 17th, January 16th, March 19th and May 21st. Mark your calendars! Our VIRTUAL GALLERY on Facebook will once again offer a $50 monthly cash prize, now in the form of a RANDOM GIVEAWAY. Beginning this month, a winner will be chosen using Google's Random Generator and announced on the LAA Challenge page. Those members posting 2 pieces per month (max allowed) will have double the chance of winning. And remember - each piece you post is being seen by over 530 artists and art appreciators! Beginning in September, our monthly Artist of the Month COCKTAIL RECEPTIONS at Palmetto will include a wine & beer bar on the porch near the pro shop that will now accept both member numbers AND credit cards! |
