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.

President's Blurb: March 2022

2/28/2022

Keeyawww,    February has gone by so fast. But, what a month it has been for the LAA!

Picture
At the beginning of the month we had our 1st First Saturday Art Market for 2022. It was a special one involving several of our workshop instructors demonstrating their art. I would like to thank Margo, Cristy, Edward, Nicole, Oleaus, Ginger, Susan, and Bonnie. We got a lot of wonderful feedback from the event and also had great publicity from Al Hebert at KADN 15.

The second Saturday was also big for the LAA. For now, as an organization, the LAA is allowed to participate at Downtown Artwalk every second Saturday. At this event we’re focusing on demonstrations, passing out information about the organization, as well as informing the public of our upcoming exhibits and workshops. Edward DeMahy demonstrated pinch pots and Margo Baker demonstrated plasma cutting. It was a cold one, but we look forward to do this every month with new demonstrators and faces every month.

Wait...it gets even better with our engagement of the community. Every third Saturday of the month the LAA will now have a tent at the Horse Farm during the farmers’ market. This past third Saturday, Ginger Kelly and Margo Baker made Mardi Gras fans with children in the park. Let’s just say the kids and everyone loved it. With all of this going on, the LAA also has had walk-ins to see the photography exhibit, hosted several work-shops (some so full we had to sched-ule two days of workshops…Simone has been doing a great job for us), Margo Baker and myself have put up a student art exhibit at City Hall with some of our students. And Sue Boagni sold 2 large paintings from her Foyer showing. Things are looking so bright as we move forward to March.

So, the big question is, did I have time to create art? I did. Enjoy.

Your President of your LAA,
Dusty Reed  dusty@cajunpicasso.com
