In April and October, members and guests are invited to attend receptions for LGAA Annual Open or Member Juried Shows at the Art Museum of Los Gatos. There is no July meeting because of Independence Day celebrations and summer vacations. The December meeting (at the usual time and day) is for Holiday festivities including the presentation of Peer Group Awards, live music, and other special social activities.

All LGAA members (or those considering membership) as well as guests are welcomed. At general meetings, club and art news is discussed and concluded in short order. After a mix and mingle coffee break, a demonstration is presented by a Bay Area artist.
