Call for Artists to Share Your Space
Livermore Art Association is launching a monthly ArtSpace studio visit on the third week of each month (day may vary). Maybe your art space is your dining room table, a room in your apartment, a back porch, or a dedicated art room. Visiting where and how you work is fun and beneficial for other artists to glean your clever ideas. We hope you will volunteer to host an ArtSpace studio visit.
To schedule your own open house, pick a month, day, and time. Membership will promote your open house through social media, our web page, and Portfolio. We will provide refreshments and signage.
To Schedule Your Open House, contact Georgia Jacobs, Membership, at 925 321-9488 or email membership@livermoreart.org

Alliance for the Visual Arts (AVA)
Alliance for the Visual Arts is welcoming every artist of the Tri-Valley to become a member of AVA. Membership is free and gives you several benefits. First, you can add your name and images to the Artist Gallery and be seen amongst all the other artists of the Tri-Valley in one location, on one website. You can have your own page and full control of how you wish to represent yourself, free of charge. If you are unfamiliar with developing a website page, I can send you how-to videos or we have someone who can do it for you extremely cheaply. Also… I wish to place on the website, again for free, a listing of all art teachers in the Tri-Valley and all folks who have a specialty, like painting murals. We are putting out a newsletter to inform the public about goings-on in the visual arts and this is sent to all members of AVA. The website is up-to-date on visual art happenings and loaded with local, regional and national calls for artists.
Please email me at dennis@dennisbakerart.net and let me know if you’re interested. The website is Allianceforthevisualarts.org.
