Main Street Gallery
The Main Street Gallery now has a website of its own!

Check it out here...http://www.lcacmainstreetgallery.com/

As the volunteer who has been doing the LCAC Mains Street Gallery website has moved to Pennsylvania, we need someone to take over the maintenance of that site.

And, since she was also editing the ArtNotes, the quarterly publication of the LC Arts Counci, we need someone to take that over.

If you feel competant to do either or both of these, please let Shelby know.

CURRENT KPFZ SCHEDULE

KPFZ has a new website.
http://community.kpfz.org

        "Big Art" is the name of the show.     The show relates to anything having to do with art and artists in Lake County.  I believe that there are a lot of artists in Lake County who could use a voice to represent them and inform Lake County listeners about local artists and art events.  
       I'm open to any suggestions on improvements or volunteers to help me with getting the word out. If any of you have information about art events or art education in Lake County that needs to be mentioned, feel free to call me during the show 263-3435. Also, for the future, you can email me with pertinent information that I can mention in future shows. Most of all, I would like to schedule artist interviews for the shows, either to be interviewed live at the radio station or live by phone.
       I hope you will be able to tune in and maybe participate by calling in with some interesting information about art happenings or just to talk about art and artists in Lake County. In advance, thank you for your support.
From Sherry Harris,
swharris@jps.net last Tuesday of every month on KPFZ 88.1 FM. from 1-2pm.
