President's Blurb: Sept 2021

​As I jot down these few words for my fellow LAA members, I’m enjoying the hard hitting beats and prophetic lyrics of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers. Tom died too early with a lot more to say in his melodious way, but, he leaves us with his art for the ears. I’m sure that each one of his music creations is inspired by an event, an event that led to an emotional response of ear art. So here we are in September with emotions flaring from all sides and from a variety of events. From COVID to Hurricane Ida, we’ve run the obstacle course of emotional hurdles. It’s tiring, isn’t it? There is an oasis, a beacon of light out there to help take your mind off the turmoil. It’s your Lafayette Art Association. Join in the activities, go see what’s happening and participate in the exhibits. Your emotional flow will become positive.

The Eye of the Beholder exhibit is ending soon 9/18. If you haven’t seen this exhibit, it’s an exceptional show with sales of several pieces. With the end of this show, there’s the start of another - The LAA Fall Members Only Exhibit. Eye participants will need to remove their work during normal gallery hours, 9/22-10/2. Submissions for our fall show are also during this period. So, pick-up and drop off at the same time.

​Get your creativity flowing and pARTicipate! We’d love to see you and your work.

Terry L Palmer LAA President
