The Art League of Central has a busy schedule planned for July and August. This Monday, July 9, at 6:00 pm at the Joor Road branch of the Public Library, they will be holding their monthly meeting. Anyone interested in art is invited to attend. They will be making preparations for their upcoming juried show in August at the Joor Road Library. The show, entitled “Celebrating the Louisiana Bicentennial”, is open to members only, but it is not too late to join the ALC and enter your artwork! Juried by Denham Springs artist Bonnie Williams, the show will award cash prizes for first, second, and third, and ribbons for honorable mention in the categories of “Under Glass” and “Non Glass”. A $25 entry fee covers up to three submissions.
In addition, the ALC is anticipating its annual “Studio Hop/Progressive Dinner Party” open to members and their guests. Three members will open their homes and studios to the League for touring and enjoying food prepared by participants. This will be held Saturday, July 28. Contact us if you’d like to join us!
