This is a fantastic part of this club and we hope to continue it. The Programs Director arranges for the demonstrators to come into our monthly meetings (excluding July and December). There is a list of demonstrators to contact and of course, there are many local club and art organizations that have people who would like to demonstrate or you may know someone. There are many people in the club to help out and get you started if you are interested. This is also a job that can be shared or arranged in advance, if you are not able to make every meeting. Please let one of the officers know if you would like to help with Programs. It is a great way to meet many local artists. Sad News Our condolences and warm sympathies go to LAAC member Anna Briggs, whose husband passed away recently. A memorial service was had on Friday, March 27th. Nance Wheeler M ON TH LY ART D EM ON STRATOR Brian Corral Brian Corral will be our demonstrator for April - he is an artist teacher at the Pacific Art League. From website: With paintings in collections around the world and a growing list of international exhibitions the work of Brian Sal Corral is both in high demand and ever-growing. Starting as a stylized portrait painter almost 20 years ago, Sal's work has grown into his mature style by expanding the intrinsic unseen qualities of life that drew him to portraiture. Those unseen qualities are now the center of his paintings, and the people that inspire the flowing energy of life seen in his work are the bridge for the viewer to enter their world. Notice of Board Meeting - Members are welcome to attend.
