Hello Members

Gallery Show for Calender Year 2025

We are now accepting applications for 2025 gallery shows of member artwork.

Direct inquiries to Sondra Fox at 937-207-7400. 

Memberships

We rely on membership support to offer classes and workshops at reasonable costs. For $2.08 a month, less than the cost of a gas station coffee, you can join in all the fun and help us bring wonderment and joy to our community through art and friendship. 

Birthdays, Christmas, or whatever festive occasion, memberships make a great gift. 

Memberships are now being accepted for 2025.

The balance of the months left in 2024 will be included as a bonus.

Open House: The artists of La Petite Pomme Glassworks

Relevant Co and La Petite Pomme Glassworks are partnering to bring you an exhibition of the art of its instructors. There is no cover charge; just come join us in celebrating their work! Please note: this event is at Relevant Co, not the Glassworks studio.

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.
