The 2020 Annual Fine Art ShowThe Show Committee is moving forward with preparations for this year's show! Current plans are for October 23 through 25 at the historic Opera Hall in downtown Sonora. We're currently engaging judges. Depending on what the rest of 2020 brings, we're prepared to be flexible and creative. We'll meet challenges as they arise. Our prospectus will be available by the end of July! No electronic submissions this year. Go here to our Art Show page for great images from last year's show and periodic updates on preparations, plus volunteer opportunities!
Urgently Needed: Art for the MLAA's Space in the AloftThe Aloft Gallery reserves space for MLAA members to show their art free of charge. The space is reserved for members who are not also members of Aloft. We have a change-out date of July 29 -- this is your chance to show your work in the Aloft's beautiful new venue in the Baer's Building! The space is a half panel, which has room for four to six 16" by 20" canvasses, or more if they are small or crowded. Two artists could share. The art would hang through October 28, 2020. Interested? Go here to our "contact us" page to get in touch with Susan Kendall. Don't miss this opportunity!
