Season-Opening Membership Meeting
featuring award-winning artist Kip Bradley Tuesday, October 15th
4:00-5:30 PM
Skidaway Community Church
Please join us on the 15th for our first membership meeting of the season! This is your chance to have a cocktail and socialize with other LAA Artists, learn about upcoming events and hear from our presenter, Kip Bradley. Bring your friends - everyone is welcome!
About our presenter: Kip Bradley is an active landscape painter who approaches painting as a sport, working through repetitive practice to develop an intuitive response to the observed world and making at least 3 on-site Plein Air paintings and 1 still-life painting weekly. The work strives to balance the materiality of the painted surface juxtaposed with the traditional illusion of volume and depth. Kip exhibits artwork regionally and nationally and is an American Impressionist Society Associate Member. He often participates in regional plein-air painting competitions. Kip is the studio program manager at the Telfair museums, teaching and coordinating classes for kids and adults. He also manages an active plein air group that meets every Friday to paint Savannah locations. In 2022, Kip received a Georgia Sea Grant’s Artists, Writers, and Scholars (AWS) grant to paint 6 marsh locations spanning the Savannah Coast 4 times over the course of the year. One of those locations was along the Diamond Causeway. Beginning Wednesday, October 16 this year, Kip will compete with 30 Georga artists here in a Savannah plein air competition and exhibit over the following 3 days.

LAA Community Grants Awarded - 2024-25 |
|
|
An LAA Penny Day Thompson Arts in Education grant for 2024/25 was awarded to Loop It Up Savannah, a youth arts and education nonprofit. The $3000 grant will be applied to the Book Box Library Project for kindergarten and 1st grade classes. Each student receives a wooden box for their very own books that they will then decorate. This is also a wonderful volunteer opportunity for our members. What fun it would be for a child to have an LAA artist helping them with their design. The project will begin in October. If you can help, please contact LAA Arts in Education co-chair, Phyllis Tildes: artphyll@comcast.net or Loop It Up Director, Molly Green Lieberman: molly@loopitupsavannah.com The LAA has also awarded $500 to Telfair for programs at their new Children’s Museum.
