Message from LAA President
The pandemic has been unkind to the arts, that’s for sure. The performing arts have been especially hard-hit, but visual arts have suffered too. There are no in-person shows, teaching is a little more complicated, and we can’t even get together easily to share our works and ideas. But on the bright side, we have been forced to accelerate existing trends, and that is a very positive development. We are Zooming into the future, whether we like it or not. And when it is no longer necessary, we’ll still know how to do it, and sometimes we probably will. We’ll have a choice.
We’ve figured out how to stage an art show online, how to sell art online, how to put on programs and demonstrations online, how to teach online, and – definitely - how to conduct an online meeting. I expect that we’ll continue to do those things sometimes even after we no longer have to, and we’ll be able to do them well.
It will just be nice when it’s optional, and not a necessity.
Happy New Year, and please stay safe. Clark
January General Meeting, Monday Jan 11
PAL / LAA / DAC invite you to our next General Meeting
Monday Jan 11, 7:30pm on Zoom
We will continue our journey toward getting our artwork submitted into on-line shows. Last month, our presenters gave us lots of pointers for how to best photograph a finished work. Now that we have a quality image on our camera or cell phone, what do we do next? George Garbarino will be talking about loading the image into our computer and performing a couple of simple steps to make your art look great in an on-line gallery. Sizing your artwork, and adjusting color and contrast will be covered.
Join Us for LAA's first online show - "New Dawn"
What does “New Dawn” mean to you: A sunrise, a new year, an end to the worst gone by, a budding flower, a new puppy, a landscape that reminds you of a fresh start? Gather up all those wonderful ideas, get creative, and let us help you showcase your art to the world! You are welcome to submit artwork not related to this theme as well.
We are looking for a Treasurer!
If you are interested in joining the LAA board as treasurer, please write to Clark Streeter at president@livermoreart.org.
