7800 Holdgredge, Capitol City Christian Church, Lincoln (regular LAG Meeting)

Come learn how to do Zentangle, a method of creating beautiful abstract drawings by using repetitive patterns. Zentangle is the latest craze because it’s easy, fun, and most of all–relaxing. This class will be taught by Marcia Claesson, member of Lincoln Artist Guild. Marcia has been doing Zentangle for several years, and is known at her favorite coffeeshop as the one who’s always doing that Zentangle thing. Making Zentangle has been helpful for her during times of depression or anxiety, and she is excited to share this technique with others.

Please bring the following:
Card stock or multimedia paper, preferably acid free
Pencil
Eraser
Black pen or pens. I prefer the Sakura Micron Pigment pens in the following sizes: 01, 03, 05

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. There have been sales in the past and a People’s Choice Award is 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! That could be fun! 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 gallery guidelines the guild has or the ANAC rules for hanging art and for 3-D guidelines. You may find the guidelines in your guild handbook.

Usually we set up in the evening during the first week of June and take down the show at the end of July. There is no entry fee. There is a $2 fee per piece to help pay for gas and hanging of the art if you are not able to drive to Seward nor help with the hanging of the art. That helps curb the cost for those driving, as well as using their time and elbow grease to get the show hung/taken down, etc… It is much appreciated.
