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.
See MAP for the location and directions.
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.

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.

Each Tuesday at 11 a.m., those who painted at the previous day's Plein Air Meeting are invited to attend an online critique meeting in which artists may share their art on screen and discuss it with each other. If you'd like to attend, contact Annie Haines at serendipityartist@gmail.com so she can send you the meeting link.
We are planning regular outings-either to places of scenic beauty or to art shows in spacious galleries where safe covid-19 protocols are enforced. At most venues we can also meet for lunch.
