Mid July

The membership show is hanging at the gallery, and it's quite an impressive showing of members art.      There are some pictures on the Lodi Art Center web site under the heading Featured Show.     Check it out if you have not seen it yet, or better yet, see it in person.  


Not only does a show go up, it also has to come down, and that means picking up the  unsold art.  JC sent out this message to let us know when to do that.

 Pickup for the membership show  and receiving for the August Gallery show is Friday, July 31st, Saturday August 1st and Sunday August 2nd.

 Reception for August show is Friday August 7th from 6 to 8:30 p.m.  with Letty Nava as featured artist.    When you look at Letty's acrylic works, don't just glance at the main image, take a closer look at the subtleties in the backgrounds.    They are quite delicious.


In case you missed this in the last post, here is an opportunity to paint with Letty.

The monthly theme for  August is - ta da -  "A Fork in the Road".  While your August show art does not have to fit the theme it is always good when our art matches the Theme.     Do you have a piece of artwork that speaks to that theme?      If not, why not create one?    What forks in the road have you taken in your life?      Maybe one will inspire you.     

July - Art Week July 13 to 17th

 This is something new and I'm not sure the word got out to people in time to get on their calendars.      There's no time to waste.   Read this, and get on the phone to reserve a spot for the  classes you'd like to take.    Remember the gallery is only staffed from noon to 5, so that's when there is someone to answer the phone.    
 

Here's what''s going on at the gallery this week.  It's a good opportunity to get some art instruction for you or for children in our lives.
