100 Words and a Picture


There are many untold stories behind the art that hangs in our gallery.

I would say, equally as interesting as the art itself.


How about telling your story, its easy and people want to hear it.

Presidents Blurb: July 2021

Wow!
Writing this message from the president sure comes around way to soon - but, I do have some important information for you.

I can never say enough about the great work our officers, board and volunteers have done and are doing. All are working hard to make your Lafayette Art Association a success. And it’s working. Sales from the gallery, gift shop and studios have all risen over the last year, despite COVID. Keep up the good work! And, I can never say this enough also - I love being associated with this organization and all of the people who are a part of it and keep the arts going for our community!

So, now I’m reaching out to our members. Get your art on! We soon have a new exhibit coming: The Eye Of The Beholder. This is an open 2-D and 3-D competition. This means you can invite your non-member artist friends to enter as well. There is a small entry fee for both members and nom members, but you’ll be competing for monetary prizes as well as ribbons. The Eye Of The Beholder is only our second monetary award show since we started this procedure. The first was a success and we’re hoping this will be even a bigger success. Besides incentive for the artists, it raises operational funds for the LAA. I’m happy to say, we have a couple of outstanding judges this year whose names I’m not allowed to divulge.

Here’s some information for Eye Of The Beholder that I can share with you: Chair person: Susan Chiquelin. For questions, email Susan: susan.chiquelin@lusfiber.net Submission dates: July 14-7/17 and July 21-July 24 (As another reminder, these are also the pick up dates for any work you may have had in the Spring and Summer Members Exhibit) Show dates: July 28 to September 18 Awards Reception: August 8th from 4-6pm

Prior to entry, please read our revised General Competition Submission Rules and Information. The rules and an Eye of the Beholder 2021 Submission Form can be found at www.lafayetteart.org/submissionrules.html where you can download a pdf to read or read online (go to www.lafayetteart.org, click on About LAA, scroll down to Rules/Competitions and click on Submission Rules).

I really hope to see a lot of you entering. I know there’s a lot of creative work out there! Have a great, artistic month.

​Terry L Palmer LAA President
