The date is set for one of the most anticipated events in our local art scene! The 56th Laurel Art
Guild Annual Open Juried Exhibition is officially underway, with jury-selected artworks now
being prepared for display. Congratulations to all the artists who submitted their work—whether
or not your piece was selected, your dedication to creativity is truly commendable. We hope the
magic of each painting, drawing, and sculpture inspires reflection, joy, and a deeper appreciation
for the power of visual art.
At the Laurel Art Guild, we remain committed to fostering a vibrant artistic community, ensuring
that exhibitions like this continue to enrich our souls and our surroundings. I encourage you to
stay engaged with the art movement in your region. You don’t have to be a well-known figure in
the field—your art can be a meaningful reflection of your community and its spirit.
In addition to celebrating this exhibition, I want to extend a special invitation to those passionate
about supporting artists. Laurel Art Guild is actively seeking new board members—individuals
who are willing to contribute their time and leadership skills to help grow and sustain our
mission. As a nonprofit organization created by artists for artists, we thrive on the dedication of
people like you. Your involvement can make a significant impact in strengthening our artistic
network.
I look forward to seeing you at the exhibition, meeting you in person, and hearing your insights.
Your feedback is invaluable as we continue to improve and serve our artistic community with
passion and responsibility.
See you soon and thank you for being part of this creative journey!
