Are You Ready??
The guild’s 2016 LAG Seward Show theme is “Expressions of Wild Blue Yonder” with Nebraska skies and liberty in mind. Maybe, look up the song “Wild Blue Yonder” for inspiration! The theme “Into the Wild Blue Yonder”, a salute to the National Guard Air Guard, is the Seward 4th of July theme for 2016, so, we (LAG) will join in with part of the theme, creating our own interpretations. It is a great way to get your work out into another community.
Also, 2-D and 3-D pieces are welcome. Please follow gallery hanging guidelines such as 2-D work needs to be wire hung, no saw tooth brackets. The edges of wrapped canvas need to be painted. Please see the LAG gallery guidelines.

Not only have there been sales in the past, but there is also a People’s Choice Award given each year. The top winner is invited by the Seward Arts Council to do a solo show in the following year. Myrna Baade was our winner for 2015 and will be doing a solo show. Hundreds of people come through the Seward Civic Center during June and July. This will be the guild’s 9th year of celebrating our creativity with the community of Seward. Encourage an artist friend to collaborate with you in your piece for the show, too!
