8/21/2021 9am-4pm Lois Smith WORKSHOP : Watercolor Painting, Let’s figure it out This all day workshop will be full of information specific to watercolor. We will learn about properties of individual pigments (sedimentary, staining, non-staining, temperature, etc.) and how those properties affect the way different colors work separately and together. Participants will experience several activities that develop understanding of these concepts and will paint to practice the concepts. Participants should bring a lunch and the instructor will provide a supply list with paid registrations or supplies are available for an additional $22 from the instructor. The workshop will be held at the Lincoln Artists’ Guild Tai Chi Room, 2634 N. 48th Street. Doors open at 9:30, workshop starts at 10:00, cleanup at 4:00, out of building by 4:30. $60 members / $75 non-members workshop fee includes rental of space and instruction.

XXXX Fall Show Critique Members may bring two finished or unfinished works for critique.

August Change Day

Change day for the month of August will be Wednesday August 4, from 11 – 1 at the LAG gallery. Bring in new pieces, along with your monthly dues. If you are leaving your current work, please let Kirk or Carmen know.

Feature Gallery

Due to the fact that LAG members, and non members alike have not shown an interest in renting the feature gallery, it has been decided to discontinue renting the smaller gallery space.  All future shows will be either hosted in our main gallery or at the LUX.

Gallery Volunteers

We are enjoying new members and having them sign up to work the gallery, but we could still use even more volunteers who would be willing to relax in our gallery even a minimum of three hours a month.  You do not have to be showing in the gallery, just come enjoy the art, and talk with visitors.  Contact Lynette Fast lynettefast@gmail.com 402 318 8517 on her cell and she can get you set up.

Webpage

If you have sought out the Lincoln Artists’ Guild web page and can’t find it, there has been a change of address.  On the front of your membership directory, tri-fold membership forms and any other materials, the address is now:  www.lincolnartistsguild.wordpress.com
