LGAA has a dedicated studio space where we hold monthly meetings, workshops, and other events in addition to our two-room gallery. Members can use the studio for hands-on classes, peer critiques, open studio sessions, and collaborative projects, surrounded by a supportive creative community. Take advantage of our many opportunities for learning, networking, and camaraderie to develop new skills, share ideas, and grow as an artist.
