What happens in October?

September is almost over.     Each month we change out the art on exhibit in the gallery.   So, if you have art hanging this month, it's time to go over and pick it up, so the next month's art can be hung.      And if you have something to hang in October, it's time to get it there.    Our theme for the month is East is East, West is West.   How did you interpret this in your art?

Caroline Henry is the featured artist for October, taking the space which was devoted to the art of Leland Choy this month.    We all know Caroline, who has been president of our group many times and devoted countless hours of volunteer work in many capacities.   This is a chance for us to honor her and her work.     She has selected humorous drawings and paintings to show next month.      It will be a treat for all of us.    

October 3rd will be First Friday Art Hop from 6-8 p.m. and will serve as artist reception for featured artist.
Please put this on your calendar and plan to be there.
Light refreshments are served.


 October 7th is the LCAC Board Meeting.    It's open to the membership and a good way to find out how the group works, what's going on, and how you can fit in. 


October 11 and 12.     Lodi Open Studio Tour.   20 artists in 12 locations will be showing their work and visiting with guests.   Many will be demonstrating how they work and showing you their work methods and spaces.

October 14th is the monthly Membership Meeting which will feature a demo by Caroline Henry.     Come and meet the members of the group and enjoy the presentation.    Snacks provided.    I particularly like this little piece of art by Caroline which reminds me of the aroma of Cheerios that hang in the air near the plant as I drive by.   


At the end of the month   we will be taking in art for the Annual Small Works Show.      See the website and check your emails for the details, call to artists, etc.      And start thinking about submitting your art if you have not done so in the past.  Or is you have not shown your work for awhile, this is a good way to get back into action in a smaller format.      

October is a busy month.   The committee for the Spring Show is meeting and making plans.    There are many volunteer opportunities, somethings that can probably fit your style, fitness, and talents.      You'll be hearing more later.       Have a great month.     Janene
