Description
After a lengthy hiatus, during which time the Town of Lyons needed the usual 'gallery' area for ongoing flood recovery efforts, presentations and displays, the Town Hall Art Shows are back on the docket.
Friday, November 6th (between 4:30 and 7PM at Town Hall) is the drop off date for the community's creative responses, from all ages and abilities, to this show's theme, "Hope and Harvest."
All ready-to-wall-hang 2D and 3D artistic interpretations must be accompanied by a neat display placard that features the title and medium of the work, artist's name and contact information, and sale price, if appropriate. Welcome are literary responses, photography, collage, wall-mounted sculpture/ceramics, song lyrics, paintings, fabric art, prints, etc. Up to three submissions per artist are welcome. As many ready to display pieces will be hung as possible, contingent upon wall space. There is no entry fee. Artists will be asked to complete a brief contract/release form at the time of drop off.
There will be an opening reception and community 'tapas' potluck at Town Hall on Saturday, November 7, from 6 to 8PM. Wine will be available. Please bring a dish (and serving utensil) to share.
Donations to the LAHC are encouraged at such events (or at Town Hall) to help support the continuing and unfolding efforts of Lyons Arts and Humanities Commission throughout town. Volunteers with a wide range of talents are also needed.
The LAHC has also slated four 3-month shows featuring various area artists for 2016. All shows will have Saturday evening opening receptions and are tentatively scheduled for the following dates: January 2nd; April 2nd; July 2nd; October 1st. Please save these dates now on your calendar, plan to attend with a dish to share, and watch for further details about these shows and all other LAHC ongoings.
At each reception, local musicians, poetry, dance, film and/or other artistic presentations are welcomed in the LAHC's intentional efforts to embrace, celebrate and support all of the art genres happening in the area. Please contact Chrystal DeCoster, the LAHC chair, if you have recommendations or interest in participating and please indicate what payment would be required: chrystaldecoster@gmail.com. We are still looking for someone exciting to showcase their talent at the upcoming November 7th evening event.
Those interested in supporting the Lyons arts community are encouraged to attend the LAHC's monthly meetings. They are generally at 4:30 on the first Tuesday of each month at Town Hall; any changes in location or time should be indicated on the Town's calendar. Please contact Betsy Hubner, vice-chair, if you have interest in being included on the agenda or have something arts-specific that you would like to have addressed: betsybhubner@yahoo.com.
Thank you for your support and helping to promote all of the wonderful arts offerings that weave together to make Lyons - Lyons.
