August 2020 LAA Newsletter

SPRING INTO FALL ART SHOW

(formerly our Spring Art Show and Silent Auction)

SCHEDULED FOR NOVEMBER

and

THE LAA/SOUND VIEW

KRINGLE MARKETPLACE

SCHEDULED FOR DECEMBER

HAVE BEEN POSTPONED

UNTIL 2021

The Chairs of each event and the LAA Board thought it would be wise to postpone all events for 2020 and re-address their scheduling in 2021.

Looking toward the end of 2020 and taking into account COVID coupled with normal cold and flu season would make for an extremely volatile environment.

All of you who have already registered and paid, we will keep your information on file until next year's show. You'll be able to change your registered piece to something different or keep it the same should you desire.

2021 Dues

Our Board has unanimously voted to forego charging dues to existing 2020 members for the 2021 season (new registering members will be charged the normal fee). As a way of saying thank you for your patience and understanding with regard to all of our LAA closures, we thought this would be a gesture that everyone would appreciate.

MEMBERS’ GALLERY at The Palmetto Club

Hooray - we're going to do a change-over of our existing art on Wednesday, August 5 from 9 to 11 am. The new display will stay up until the next change on Wednesday, October 7.

A few changes to past procedures ( READ CAREFULLY ):

Intake forms will be available OUTSIDE the front gallery doors from 9-11AM that morning.
Please wear a mask and bring a pen with you to fill out the form.
Do you have a piece in the gallery that has been hanging since March? If so, please remember to pick it up at this time as we do not have space to store it.
If you bring a piece to be hung this month, it must stay in the gallery until October intake (2 months).

For questions or further information, please contact Joan DiGiorgio at jjdigiorgio@aol.com.

Until further notice, there will be no opening cocktail reception .

JOIN THE FUN! Our monthly virtual challenge will continue on Facebook!

Our FB group currently has 315 members, including LAA members who post their work, art appreciators, and friends of members. Close to 200 never-before-seen (in any of our venues) pieces of art have been on display in the gallery in the past few months and many have sold!

This online gallery can be found in the Facebook group called “The LAA Art Challenge” , and a cash prize will be awarded each month for 1 ^st and 2 ^nd place pieces based on the month’s theme. Special thanks to Sound View Wealth Advisors for their help in making all this possible.

Thanks also to all LAA members who participated in July! To see the winners of the July Challenge, please go to our website at landingsartassociation.com .

Get Ready… GO!

The LAA Art Challenge theme for August is “Livin’ the Life!” . Post up to 2 of your pieces (must contain something that is or was alive) that have never been seen in any of our venues. Please - only 1 piece per post.

Remember – if you have any Facebook friends who would enjoy seeing art created by our talented members, invite them to join our LAA Art Challenge Group. If they would like to post a painting, they are welcome to join the LAA. If not, they will undoubtedly enjoy the beautiful art submitted by our members!

Please view the group rules before posting, and remember - you could be one of next month’s winners! Good luck!

If you need help posting your art, please contact Marie Tomlinson at inkstresse@gmail.com.
