Something new in August:
Call for Artists, and Patrons of the Arts.
Please join us on Sunday August 21st from 1pm to 5pm for the LYC Art Show/ACS Fundraiser.
Luci Lavis and Marina McGee started floating an idea a few weeks ago, and the initial response has been inspiring! Cancer has touched nearly every member of our club, so we decided to combine our love for art and the opportunity to help combat this insipid disease. Entry fees and 15% of all sales will be donated to the American Cancer Society.
So far we have a tentative list of 6-8 artists (please call us to formally reserve a space, see below) slated to show their work, including fabric arts, watercolor, drawing, acrylics, jewelry, glass artwork, dioramas, photography, and wood art. We have room for a total of 10 artists (a few more if the addition becomes available.)
Refreshments will include White and Red Wine, $2.00 per glass; and Mimosas, $3.00 each, donated by Jim and Marina McGee, proceeds of which will go to the American Cancer Society as well. Also, Cheese and Crackers will be available donated by Luci & Denny.
Patrons will be welcomed from 1pm to 5pm. Artists can begin setting up at 10am.
Artist’s Entry Fee ($20) will cover 1 round table and floor space for display. Contact Marina McGee (231-266-2018) or Luci Lavis (231-843-1561 to reserve a display area, or for more details.
Stay tuned for future announcements.
Thank you,
Marina and Luci
Other stuff: We have been in contact with the City of Ludington and have been assured we will continue to have access to the Club and LYSS (as well as Copeyan Park & boat launch) throughout the Washington Street construction project although there may be a day when access is limited; we should receive a couple days notice if and when this would occur.
