Dear LAG Artists,
We are extending a special invitation to all Juried members of the Louisville Artisans Guild (LAG) to participate in the 2010 Holiday Showcase. We are happy to be returning to the same location at the American Legion Highland Post at 2919 Bardstown Road. This location is just a few blocks north of the Watterson Expressway and extremely visible to the general public. This year's show will be Saturday, November 6th and Sunday, November 7th with set-up on Friday, November 5th. The hours of the event will be 10am to 4pm for both days.
Because we know artists need to plan their year of shows, we are getting the applications out early with a deadline of May 1, 2010 and will notify acceptance by June 1, 2010. As you probably know, the Holiday Showcase has been at capacity for the last three years. A waiting list will be created and acceptance will be based on date received and/or a balance of artists in each medium.
We hope this same location will provide a successful and profitable venue for all our 2010 Holiday Showcase participants.
Sincerely,
2010 Holiday Showcase Committee:
Linda Drescher, Co-Chair
Mary Ann Hoskins, Co-Chair
Kathy Lum, Co-Chair
