Due to the coronavirus, LGAA meetings are held online the Second Sunday of every month at 4:00pm. Normally they are held monthly on the Second Sunday, 1:00 - 3:00pm at 20 Cherry Blossom Lane at Congregation Shir Hadash in Los Gatos. It's a beautiful facility with ample parking and a wonderful meeting room. The meetings are free and open to the general public.
General Meeting - Online
The format for the meetings includes
1) The raffle for the most recent month's Instagram Gallery entrants,
2) Member sharing news and art on-screen (optional), followed by
3) A short educational art video.
Meetings run approximately one hour.
A link will be posted here 30 minutes prior to the meeting
Current members may submit one piece of new art each month to be displayed in our Members' Gallery on Instagram. Entrants are eligible to win a $25 gift certificate for art supplies. A raffle is held at every general meeting and includes everyone who was in the previous month's exhibit.
