Volunteers needed for LSAG May 14-15, in Conroe, TX

CENTER PIECES:
North West Art League will be doing the center pieces for the LSAG Convention on March 31 (a Wednesday) at the Norchester Community Center on Jones Road. We will begin work at 10:00am. Paint and sponge brushes will be provided, but please bring your favorite brushes for detail work and, if you use acrylics, bring your favorite colors. We will break for lunch, so bring a sack lunch or plan to go to the near-by Subway. E-mail Claire Payne at cpaynting@comcast.net if you have questions and to let her know you are coming.

REGISTRATION:
We need volunteers for registration on Friday and Saturday of the Convention. Please let Nancy Lee, nancydlee@earthlink.net know if you are able to help with that job.

SET UP/TEAR DOWN:
Many hands make little work. We will need many hands for setting up and taking down the flats. We will try to get some paid help to unload the flats, but help is always needed from many volunteers to make each task easier for the next person. If you are willing to help, please let Claire Payne at cpaynting@comcast.net, know...the more the merrier!

The Woodlands Art League's LSAG rep is Theresa G. Thornhill. If you have any questions or need further clarification about these or other jobs, do not hesitate to email her at tgthornhill@sbcglobal.net or call: 713.816.0699.

LSAG Cover Art Contest

Lone Star Art Guild
Yearbook Cover Contest

( As a member of the Woodlands Art League, your entry is due by Thursday, March 25. Bring your entry to the meeting so we can vote on which piece will represent our league. )

Each year at the Lone Star Art Guild convention the members of the LSAG vote on artwork that will be used on the front and back covers of the yearbook. The entries for this contest are submitted by its member leagues. Each league may submit two entries, either a front and back cover entry, or two front cover entries, or two back cover entries. These entries usually are determined by the voting within each member league on entries submitted by their members.

We will hold this competition again this year. Each league may submit two entries. Each entry should be black and white and "copy ready". The entry size is 8" H x5"W. For front cover entries, try to have "Lone Star Art Guild" and "2010 -2011" somewhere in the design. The design itself must be an artwork drawn by the artist and not “computer aided”. The exception to this is the lettering which may be done using a computer. Two Xerox
copies should accompany the artwork to demonstrate how “camera ready” the artwork is. If the artist wishes the original artwork returned, please enclose a stamped self-addressed envelope. Try not to include all the member league names on the cover as this may change from year to year.

The league presidents will send the winning entries for their leagues to the LSAG 3rd Vice- President: Marguerite Bundick, 2009 Merlin Street, Bay City, TX 77414. Marguerite says she will accept entries up until April 21.
