The gallery room at LOLA is buzzing with color and excitement. March is Youth Art Month, and man oh man, is this year’s exhibit fun. Come view it in person Monday through Friday, March 11-22 from 10am-3pm. And/or join us for a Saturday Reception on March 16th anytime between 10am-2pm. There will be refreshments and snacks, and you can view not only the exhibit but also the excited looks on kids' faces in person. More information will be below.
The gallery room has also seen some great classes, like Mosaic Mondays and Sue Schurch’s acrylic classes. We’ve got a few more in the months of March and April, and the Community Weaving still, so come visit and wrap up the season with us before we excitedly welcome the Artistree Gallery back in May.

Beginning Watercolor
In this class, you will receive step-by-step instructions as Lisa Krueger leads you through this painting in a fun and relaxed environment.

Gouache and Watercolor
Gouache is an opaque watercolor body, and its combination with regular watercolor paint elevates your paintings to a new dimension. It’s the best of both worlds, giving you a unique depth of color when using it as accents and embellishments in a transparent watercolor or a full opaque watercolor painting.
