BEHIND THE GUILD
I am very fortune to be working with board members that are talented and dedicated. It is hard to calculate all the volunteer hours they work, however these hours lead to numerous accomplishments. One of those is a membership that has grown from 80 people to 170 members. The guild draws from these people's ideas, time, and energy to make this guild flourish. Thank you guild board members!

SEPTEMBER ARTIST DEMONSTRATION
Heather Coen started off our new season of artist demonstrations with pizzazz! She  showed us how to paint beautiful skies and landscapes in  oils, making it look easy and quick, even though we know better.
Watching her do her "magic on canvas" with her expert skills in painting and knowledge of different painting additives was fascinating. We understand now how she has won so many awards in local and national art shows. She's amazing! We are very lucky to have Heather as a member of our Longmont Artist Guild.
