Hi folks!

I would like to thank Carmen for her hard work and dedication to the LAG, and taking the position of ANAC officer and Show co-chairmanship!  I would also like to thank the other officers for their continuing service to the Guild and its membership!

We have some great upcoming meetings and shows, and would encourage all members to come and participate in them.  It’s a great way to network with other artists as well as promoting yourself and the LAG.

Do we have folks that like to do figure drawing?  If so there is a group who meets each Wednesday at the LUX from 6:30 till 9:00 p.m.  Tables, chairs, drawing boards and easels are supplied.  Bring the media you like to work in and hone your figure drawing skills!  Cost is $12 for the evening.  The model will be nude.  Check it out!  It will continue till March 26.

Looking forward to meeting and leading the Guild for 2019!

Thanks so much.

See you at the March meeting!

March- in like a lion, out like a lamb? “Think spring”, think “Spring LAG Show”. There will be a first Friday event on March 1st for our LAG spring show at the Lux Gallery upstairs in their community gallery. Hope all can get out to support this show. The next Thursday, March 7th will be Lincoln Artists’ Guild’s first Thursday event at Against the Wall Gallery from 5 to 7. LAG Gallery committee meeting will be on the 2nd Thursday, March 14th at 10:30. The change of art will be on the 3rd Thursday, March 21st at 10:00. How fun to have so much going on. Thanks to everyone’s hard work. Will Rennick

As you may have seen in the last newsletter or heard at the February meeting, I have volunteered to manage the LAG website. I am a new member, but I have several years worth of experience in web development, design, and management. I am very excited to bring my expertise in this area to help the Guild!

Anyone interested in manning the Facebook page for the Guild?  Jane Chesnut has been keeping our Facebook page up to date, but she would like to step down after doing it for several years.  She will continue for this year, but if you are interested, contact her and she will talk with you and let you see what she is doing.  Computer skills necessary of course and knowledgeable about Facebook.    Carmen

We hope you will join us for a creative journey on Tuesday March 5th.
