Spring Art Show and Art Changeout

Artwork Displays, Information, Shows & Competitions September 22, 2022

Thank You to Everyone Who Attended Last Night’s Meeting

Inga Strause-Godejord gave a very interesting and informative demonstration of silk scarf painting – with much invited audience participation. A raffle of one of Inga’s beautiful scarves was held, and Ms. Helen Stoll was the happy winner!

Creative Challenge

We are reviving our Creative Challenge, with a few modifications. All members are invited to produce a piece of art that conforms to the current theme. You have two months to work on this, so no pressure. The winner will receive a $25 gift certificate at our November meeting. Our first theme is “Connections”.

“Mini Masterpieces” Are Back

Another return this year is our “Mini Masterpieces.” These are small canvases, either 8 x 8″ or 12 x 12″, painted with your choice of subject and in your chosen medium. They are to be sold at the Fall Art Show (see below). The proceeds from these sales go toward our scholarship fund for a Lone Star art student in December. If you are interested, contact Becky Hall at rebecca.hall44@gmail.com. Becky also has a supply of small canvases available at a very low price.

Art Changeout at Skero’s

We will be changing out the art on display at Skero’s Furniture Store on Friday, September 30, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. Any paid member who helps us as a volunteer is welcome to bring 2-3 pieces of art to hang on our own wall at Skero’s. Please make sure that your art is ready to hang, with picture wire installed. All skill levels are welcome. Come help, chat with your fellow artists, and make sure your work is well displayed. We have sold work at this location in the past, so this is a valuable opportunity to attract the public’s notice!

Fall 2022 Art Show and Competition

Our Fall Art Show will be on Saturday, October 29, 2022, at the Kingwood Community Center. Our judge for this show will be Kathleen Wagner. See the Prospectus for further details, and for rules and guidelines. A copy of our Show Poster can be found here. Feel free to print it out and distribute it to all interested parties, as well as businesses in the area.
In addition to show entries, we will be offering a gallery for other art works that our members would like to display. These can be any art, no matter how old, that you would like to show to the public. The pieces in the gallery may be for sale, but the sale can’t take place in the Community Center. So please furnish artist contact information so that prospective buyers can get in touch with you.
In order to participate in the art show you must be a paid LHAA or LSAG member. This is the time to pay your membership fees. We have a button on our website to let you fill out the membership form and pay online ($43). You may also bring your fees to our next meeting on October 18.

Recently Received Letter from the Northwest Art League

Hello there😊

I am the secretary and newsletter representative for Northwest Art League (NWAL).

We have continued to hold our monthly meetings online via Zoom, every third Saturday of the month. We thought that since our meetings are virtual, this would be a perfect time for members of other leagues to join in with us. No traveling involved, yay! We would really appreciate it if you would share this information to your art group.

Here is what is happening in February and March:

  • We have an art DVD showing via Zoom, every Saturday morning, at 09:30 a.m., except when we have our meeting or show. The DVD showing for tomorrow (Saturday, 2/6), will be Fast and Loose with Frank Francese (Watercolor).
  • Our next meeting will be on February 20, at 10:00 a.m. Following the meeting, we will have a demo artist. This month, the demo artist will be Joan Fullerton, teaching abstract art and concentrating on introspection.
  • In March (20th), we will have our spring art show, which will also be virtual. Art entries will be accepted as a photograph and the art will be registered online. There will be a Zoom meeting on the day of the show to announce the winners and listen to the judge’s critique. Last year, we held the fall art show virtually and it was a great success.

For those wishing to attend, please email carolhoyland@comcast.net and I will forward the link.

If you agree, I will send a reminder email each month, a week or so before the meeting, that you can forward to your group.

Lastly, if you have any news or information that you would like to share with NWAL, I will happily forward it to our members.

Thank you so much!

Happy painting, stay safe.
