Art Exhibits & Events Schedule

In the Kauffman Gallery

*Special Attention Members & Former Members - You are invited to participate in this exhibit that kicks off our special yearlong 90th Anniversary Celebration! It will feature artwork representing the decades from the 1930's to the present. You may enter something new or a work that you may have shown before in one of the LCAA's decades. It can also represent a certain decade with its subject matter, such as a 1950's car or a self portrait of you in the 1980's. We are including the present decade so you can enter something new that you recently created. It could be a recent landscape, flowers or a still life, current portraits, abstract piece, or any other subject matter. Awards will be given in decade groupings (1930's & 40's, 1950's & 60's, 1970's & 80's, 1990's & 2000's, 2010's & 20's). Also, the Myrtle Tremblay Award for Watercolor will be given. Members & former members are invited to submit 1-3 pieces.

Marcia Miller

"Bok Tower Waterlilies #1”  by Marcia Miller

Don't miss this show by talented artist and LCAA member Marcia Miller. Her realistic still lifes, florals and portraits in watercolor and fluid acrylics, are in many private collections around the country. Locally she has won awards in LCAA and York Art Association shows. She has also been accepted and won awards outside the area such as Lakeland Florida Art Association, Baltimore Watercolor Society, PA Watercolor Society and the American Watercolor Society. The theme of her exhibit is "Wonder".
She states- "As an artist I notice many things that others overlook in their rush through life. I've often said that there is more talent in my ability to see, than in my ability to handle the brush. My desire is that those who view my work will experience a few moments of joy and wonder, and that their spirits will be refreshed."
