Stamford, CT December 1, 2015 - The Loft Artists Association invites people of all ages to participate in two “Drawing” workshops to be held Saturday April 9th and Saturday April 16th from 12:00 to 3:30 pm at 575 Pacific Street. This year’s event coincides with the LAA’s much anticipated John Singer Sargent Members Show. In tribute to Singer’s grand style of portrait painting the Loft Artists have expanded the annual drawing event to include portrait models and instruction in a nod towards that classical art form.
“We are thrilled to invite the public back year after year to this wonderful event, and are excited that this year’s workshops include portrait models for those wanting more formal instruction.” says LAA president Ellen Gordon.
Paper and all supplies will be provided in LAA’s West Gallery, as well as a variety of set-ups including live models from the Ballet School of Stamford and portrait models in various studios.
There is free parking, and handicapped access is available only on Saturdays. For directions and more information visit www.loftartists.com or call 203-247-2027.
Now in its 38th year, the Loft Artists Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to building connections within Fairfield County’s visual arts community and exposing the general public to artists and their work. Their grassroots events attract thousands of visitors throughout the tri-state area and have been recognized by funding agencies, including the Connecticut Commission on the Arts, corporate and private sponsors, the City of Stamford and by visitors who return year after year.
The mission of the LAA is to provide artists with a supportive environment, opportunities to exhibit their work, and networking opportunities while reaching out to the community at large with education and artistic expression. LAA members exhibit their work locally, nationally, and internationally.
Sponsored in part by Louis J. Kuriansky Foundation, Laurel House Inc., Mosaic Images, The Norwalk Vault Company, Bob and Pat Phillips, Stanwich Congregational Church and Wagner Instruments.
