Lenawee County and the LCVA have had the honor of having several members selected in the highly regarded show. Among them are James Freeman, Thomas Thiery and Carlos Tobar. Please come out and see all the artists and their fabulous work. The reception will be on January 28th, 2012.

Please come and enjoy!<br /><br />We really need someone to be the point person for this reception. <br /><br />After a decade of organizing almost every reception we've had, Marjorie would like to "retire" (and she will be up north for this one). Thank you, thank you, Marjorie, for doing this all these years!<br /><br />She has graciously shared her list of folks who can be counted on to donate, so this only requires some emailing and/or phone calls and being at the gallery at 4 pm on Aug. 21st to set up. Members are gracious about donating--we have a bunch of cooks and wine afficianados in this group--and about helping with clean up/pack up.<br /><br />The Sitters' Schedule has been updated and is visible in the post below this one <em>(It's Alive!).</em> We have some near term gaps--please look and see if you can help. For this show, I'm happy to update and correct the blog.

The feature is titled, "Working in Glass, Inside the studios of three Lenawee County glass artists". The artists include Patricia Deere, Lorenzo Christaudo, and Craig Weatherby. Wait a minute...there's more! local artists Janet Graham, Dennis Swartzlander and Dan Newland are featured in the "talk of lenawee" section. The Lenawee Magazine is just what our county needs. It's nice to see our county featured in a positive light for a change. Bravo Lenawee Magazine! And, thanks Lad Strayer for the beautiful photos. <div><br /></div><div>For more information about Lenawee Magazine go to <a href="http://www.lenaweemagazine.com/">www.lenaweemagazine.com</a> . </div><div><br /></div><div>GP</div>Gregghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09047208359408104621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24872210.post-47842757961944956892008-11-02T16:38:00.002-05:002008-11-02T16:45:46.630-05:0090th Annual Toledo Area Artists ExhibitionIf you have not been to the Toledo Museum of Art lately, now is the time to go.

Everybody knows the LCVA has a close relationship with Adrian College. But what about that other school? or other schools I should say. It has been my goal for a LONG time to try to get show going that features the art of ALL the colleges in Adrian....not just AC. I know a few graduates from Siena Heights University and their art program is REALLY good. I cant wait to see what the students bring in next week. To make things even more interesting I received an email from Cathie Royer of Adrian College that stated one of her students will be displaying video art...say what? Yes, I said video art. We're setting up a projector next week. Hope to see you all there.<div><br /></div><div>I hope to have this show up and running by Oct. 2nd. When I get all the students together next week we'll pick a reception date. This show will run until Nov. 1st. </div><div><br /></div><div>The LCVA Gallery is located in downtown Adrian at 112 W.

This little gem of a collage was created by artist Christine Marsh for the Postcard Show fundraiser. The face is yours truly. I think the body is Mr. Atlas...complete with sea shell coverings. Everyone really pranked me good with this. First, nobody would tell who created it. Then after my wife purchased it, nobody would tell who bought it. Fun was had by all =)<div><br /></div><div>The Art-A-Licious Festival was a blast. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves. The organizers for this event did a fantastic job.

This night has a lot going on. I'll break it down into pieces. <div><br /></div><div>The Spotlight Exhibition features the work of the Lenawee Council for the Visual Arts best artists as selected by last years Box Show Juror, Duane Bastian. The Spotlight artists are Robin Dluzen, Kristin Haddox, and Juliana Clenendin. </div><div><br /></div><div>The Gala Fundraiser is something we've been working on for about a year. It's an event being organized by member, Kris Schmidt, that will help raise money to support LCVA programs. The street in front of the LCVA Gallery at 112 W. Maumee will be closed off and a tent will be set up to hold for a very special activity. Several local artists will begin a painting from scratch at 12:30 pm. We are calling them "Blank Canvas Artists" and they are....Duane Bastian, Annie Howard, Dottie Huls, Kimberly Meyers-Pinkel, Cathie Royer, Jill Shaffer, Tom Thiery, and Carlos Tobar. The public is welcome to come and watch these amazing artists at work. Tickets will be sold (10 for $10) and you can have a chance to win one of the paintings by placing your tickets in jars next to each artist. Names will be drawn from the jars at 7:30 pm.</div><div><br /></div><div>At 6:00 pm the Gallery doors will be closed for a private party. Tickets are available in advance for $25 per person. Formal attire is required. Here you will get a chance to meet the Spotlight artists and Blank Canvas artists and mingle with some of the best artists in Lenawee County. </div><div><br /></div><div>On Monday, May 12th at 8:40 am please tune in to WABJ Radio at 1490 AM because Vice President, Janet Graham and several Blank Canvas artists will be interviewed on air for approximately 15 minutes to talk about the event.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Sponsors for the Spotlight Gala include:</span> Doug and Mary Kapnick, John and Lisa Benzing, Bob and Muriel Bell, David and Shelley Hickman, Kris and Emory Schmidt, Allan and Julie Brittain, Jeff and Jill Adams, David and Pat Cooper, Mike and Michelle Malarney, Tom Bolldt and Jane Castle, and anonymous</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Gregghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09047208359408104621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24872210.post-36079624076947135412008-05-03T15:21:00.001-04:002008-05-03T15:22:58.297-04:00Jill and Marjorie at Pentamere WinerySubject: Art Reception for Jill Shaffer and Marjorie Castle<br />Date: Sunday, May 4th, 2008<br />Time: 1-4 pm<br />Location: Pentamere Winery, Tecumseh, MI<br /><br />Pentamere Winery<br />131 E.
