WARSAW — The Lakeland Art Center & Gallery held its second open studio on March 9. Ten artists participated, with each creating work in their preferred medium.

The next open studio will be held from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, April 13. Bring your art supplies, subject matter and creative spirit and enjoy camaraderie, light refreshments and a good time. 

Plan to stay at the gallery because that same afternoon from 4:30-6:30 p.m. an artist reception will be held for Kelly Shoemaker, Paul Raiman and Stephanie McDairmant. Bring a treat to share and enjoy the artists. There is no cost to attend either of these events and all are welcome.

LAA strives to nurture its artist members through opportunities for camaraderie, skill development, the sharing of creative endeavors and public exhibits.
