LVAG News November 7, 2024

Hello Members

Madison County Chamber of Commerce 55th Annual Bonanza Event

The London Visual Arts Guild would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Madison County Chamber of Commerce for the recognition bestowed upon us at your 55th Annual Bonanza event. 

We were honored to showcase our creative skills through our painted canvases and flower arrangements, and we truly appreciate the visibility our non-profit organization received as a result. 

Like you, we believe that the arts play a crucial role in fostering a strong and vibrant community, creating an ideal environment for all. 

With the generous donations of holiday supplies, we are excited at the chance to offer a series of workshops at the London Arts Center, designed to uplift the spirits of families and individuals alike. 

Once again, thank you from the Members and Directors of the LVAG.
