LAG WORKSHOPS
2018 Workshops:

We're changing the way we sponsor workshops this year!

If you are an artist (LAG member or non-member) we can help promote your workshop!

We will announce your workshop at our monthly meeting & pass around a sign up sheet.

Workshops will no longer be held at the Clover Bldg. Artists giving workshops will be holding them at their own studio or other location arranged by the instructor.

If you would like to give a workshop, please contact
Nan Sanford at  nanci.evans980@gmail.com

Make Your New Year's Art Resolutions

BCAA Workshop
Mon., January 8 from 5:30-7pm 
(Networking/Registration at  5pm)
Still Cellars,  1115 Colorado Ave, Longmont,  CO  80501

Set Artist Goals and Reach Success in 2018! Annual goal-setting is how we check in with ourselves each year, figure out our priorities, and decide how, as artists, we are going to invest our limited time and resources in the future.

In this hands-on workshop, Kathy Beekman of   Art Coaching For You will help you improve the quality and realism of your goal-setting. You can also look forward to receiving helpful tools to reach your goals.

Please come hungry! The  G Spot Noshery Food Truck will be on site and  Still Cellars Arthouse and Distillery makes fantastic libations (including the non-alcoholic variety).

$10 BCAA Members/$15 non-members
