Help Us Make The Annual Spring Art Show Happen This Year! We need 2 members to volunteer to be 2025 Spring Art Show Chairs for our annual show on April 15th! This major event cannot take place without chairs! If you’d like an opportunity to get more involved with LAA, this is a great way to meet many of our members and help facilitate one of the more fun annual events on the island! A number of our Committee Chairs are returning to their positions so your efforts would be mostly to coordinate what’s going on leading up to the event and for the set up the day before and day-of event logistics. Next year set up is on Monday April 14th and the show is on Tuesday evening April 15th. If you’d like to learn more, or to see a detailed account of what’s needed, please email Cyndi Pollack at cyndipollack82@gmail.com. |

ATTENTION LAA WATERCOLOR ARTISTS! Longtime LAA member and admired watercolor artist Barby Townsend, sadly, is no longer painting. Her husband Al asked if the LAA might help to retire her studio, and the LAA Board agreed that this could be an opportunity to raise funds for the LAA/PDT grants for education.
On Monday, October 14th from 10:00am ‘til Noon, LAA Watercolor Artists are invited to # 6 Pepper Bush Circle to participate in this initiative. Offered at very modest prices will be paints, brushes, paper, books - as well as studio equipment such as tables, lighting and storage. In addition, there will be paintings by Barby - some framed; some unfinished…
We suggest you arrive by golf cart - or carpool. This initial offering is limited to LAA Watercolor artists. Anything left over will be available at the first LAA Membership Meeting on Tuesday, October 15th.
Please be prepared with a tote for all CASH (or check) & CARRY purchases. Large items can be held for a pre-arranged pickup. Any questions, do not hesitate to contact Martha Hough at mchough1@gmail.com or 912-598-7109. |
