Good reasons to
join the
Lafayette Art Association
1. Socialize and Network – Spend some time out of your studio. Meet and get to know new artist that you would not otherwise. Make new friends and become known in the local area and community.
2. Learn – see what other local artist are doing and learn from them. The variety of artists and activities at LAA can really make for an excellent place to learn from other artists – talk with them about the way they tackle the business side of being an artist, find who is giving workshops and attend them, or come to a group or membership meeting.
3. Share your knowledge – teach other people from your knowledge. If you can learn from others, than there must be something you can teach from your experience. What about art making techniques, marketing ideas, utilizing technology or art shows experience?
4. Opportunities – There are many opportunities to be taken, you just have to identify them and make yourself ready for them to call you. You can find new opportunities for business, commissions, art shows, exposure and much more.
5. Participate in art shows – LAA organizes several art shows throughout the year. This is an excellent way to show your work.
6. Volunteer – give your time and efforts for the benefit of you and others. You will gain respect of your fellow artists and they will be willing to help you in return. You will gain valuable experience from simply helping out - even behind the scenes.
7. Reduced workshop fees - Workshop fees are reduced typically about 10-15%
