Holiday Salon Exhibition 2007

The Holiday Salon is fast approaching - hopefully you've all been busy in your workshops/studios! The drop off date for work will be Tuesday, November 6th from 4-7 pm. If you can't make it, please contact me to arrange another time. If you would like to drop off your work before November 6th please place work in the back hallway or behind the desk.

Installation will be on Wednesday, 11/7 from 5-9 pm. Help is always appreciated. We will also have flyers available during the drop off time for you to pick up and distribute to help advertise the show.You may bring as many pieces as you'd like but they might not all be up right away - we will put up additional pieces as things sell.

We voted in the 20% commission at our last meeting so please price your work accordingly. 2-D pieces must have a wire for hanging. We have plenty of pedestals and possibly shelving for 3-D pieces. We will also have a place for unframed work to be displayed.

We will be having 2 events during the show to help boost sales:The Downtown Merchants Holiday Open House will be Friday, November 9th (opening day of the exhibit) from 4-9 pm. Gregg Perez will be demonstrating linoleum cut printing that evening (with a workshop to follow 11/17). We'll be serving holiday cookies and punch.Winterfest will be on Saturday, December 1st from 10-4 pm. We will be having free children's art activities and cookies that day. If you would like to get involved in either of these events by donating cookies or helping with children's art activities, please contact me. Gallery sitters are always needed as well. Check the LCVA blog to see the current sitting schedule and either email me or call me to sign up. Please call with any question or concerns. Thanks for your help in making this a great Holiday Salon!

LCVA at the Boulevard Market

Be sure to stop at the Boulevard Market for a little cheese and a side of art! Jill shaffer, Marjorie Castle, Janet Graham, Gerry Church, Kimberly Myers-Pinkel, Mary Gautz and Gregg Perez are displaying work there until October 16th. The Boulevard Market is located on the corner of East Chicago Boulevard and Evans Street in Tecumseh, MI.

LCVA does Hidden Lake Gardens

We've arranged for a great opportunity for LCVA Artists!

We have set up two dates this fall for artists to visit Hidden Lake Gardens and paint/photograph/draw/get inspired. Then you'll have approximately 2 months to finish/frame/etc. your creations on you own.

In January, we will be displaying our work at Hidden Lake Gardens. We haven't determined the exact dates yet but we should know within the next few weeks.

The two working dates are Saturday, October 20th and Saturday, November 3rd. We will be working from 9 am until whenever you're done (they close at dusk). You may come either day or both days.

Please contact Janet Graham at grahams4@tc3net.com to reserve your spot - or if you have any questions. We need to let them know the artist's names 3 days in advance of each date for us to get free admission. Hope to see you there!
