Did You Know...

  • THINK BACK! Do you have any artwork hanging in the Merrill building in town? If so, please pick it up at your earliest convenience during regular business hours. Because of Covid, Merrill has had an appointment only policy for its customers, and we have not had intake there in almost 2 years. This venue will be on hold until further notice.

 

  • Many of our artists have websites linked to the LAA website that showcase their work. This is a complimentary feature of LAA membership. Click here to see our featured artists or email Marie Tomlinson at inkstresse@gmail.com if you want to include your website on the LAA site!
