LVAG News July 31, 2024

Hello Members

We are accepting member contributions for the August Member show Titled “Anything Goes”through this Sunday, August 4th at 2:00 pm. Anything style of art goes so bring your work to share with the others members and the public. 

ATTENTION LVAG MEMBERS 

The Madison County Chamber of Commerce has invited the LVAG to partner with them for the 2024 BONANZA, which will be held on October 17, 2024. 

We will help decorate the event area with 37 table arrangements and 8×10 and/or 6×6 canvases of fall colors and subjects. The canvases, together with the flower arrangements, will be auctioned in a silent auction for a minimum of 50 dollars for an 8×10 and 30 dollars for a 6×6, which will go directly to the artist of the auctioned piece. The balance will go to the Chamber for use in various projects. 

We were happy to participate in this project last year and were rewarded with excellent advertising for the London Visual Arts Guild in the Bonanza Brochure. Artists whose canvases are sold receive public exposure and the minimum bid amounts, so both the artist and the Chamber benefit. 

For more information about this project, call or text Sandy Fox at 937-207-7400. 

Join us for OPEN STUDIO Tuesdays 4-7 pm

You are always welcome to do your own project or observe another artist. We have sparkling conversations about our love for art and discuss different techniques and styles. We will soon be having mini classes and demonstraitions as well. More info soon. We hope to see you come and join us.
