Calling Young Artists! This summer we invite artists ages 3 to 18 to celebrate the waters that surround us!
We are asking young artists to look for inspiration from the bodies of water that are all around us. The beach, marshes, seabirds, marine or freshwater wildlife, boats, waves, buoys, docks, pools, puddles, glasses of water … any of these would be great subjects for this show!
For more information, visit our Young Artists Exhibition page.

With your financial help, we can install a new, insulated skylight system, making energy-efficient heating and cooling a reality so that LAA will be sustainable for its next hundred years! Thank you for your support.
