One of the many benefits of being an LAG member is the opportunity to be in our annual art
shows. Our first show of the year is at the Great Frame Up in Longmont. This show not only
gives you a chance to win cash prizes at our fun artist reception (Mar.8 th ), but it will also exhibit
your work for a full month providing your art with lots of exposure.
This year we are adding a silent auction fundraiser to our March show to help provide awards to our young artists in the St. Vrain Valley Schools. We would love your donations!
Some ideas; theme gift baskets (bath items, date nights, art supplies, movie night, chocolate lovers, games,
gardening, etc.) or if you give workshops maybe a free spot in your class, jewelry, handyman for an hour. Whatever you think people would enjoy. If you donate items, please make sure they are new/not used. You can contact me if you would like to donate or have any questions: smsarts@hotmail.com.
You can bring your donations for our March show to our next meeting, Feb. 13 th , where we will
be having a wonderful model for us to draw. Don't forget to bring your drawing pads and
pencils!
See you then...

How would you like to earn some money? Would you like to share a particular skill you have in creating art? The Longmont Artist Guild is looking for art instructors to expand our workshop program. You provide the studio space (usually in your home) along with your "expertise" on a particular technique or project. LAG will get the word out for you so you can get lots of students. No commission or fees to LAG as long as you are a current member. You can charge $10 - $25 per person, depending on the length of the workshop and what you provide. You can always send out a supply list and the students bring their own. To offer a workshop, get ideas or advice, just email us at:
