Visual Art League of Lewisville

First Tuesday of the Month is VAL’s General Meeting featuring a speaker on the arts. Members and visitors are invited. Second Tuesday of the Month is VAL’s Board Meeting. All Members are invited.

The Greater Lewisville Community Theater’s current production is “84 Charing Cross Road”. This delightful show is a dramatization of business letters between a struggling young writer in New York and an antiquarian bookstore in London.

In another sense, it is an exchange of love letters over a twenty-two year period – love of good literature and care for the lives of people who meet only through their correspondence. Adapted from an autobiographical book by Helene Hanff, this is a warm, moving and sometimes funny hands-across-the-sea chronicle.

The show dates are April 30 – May 16, with the Friday and Saturday performances at 8 p.m. and the Sunday matinees at 3 p.m. Individual ticket prices are $13 for adults and $9 for children 18 and under and seniors 65 and over.

For reservations please call 972-221-SHOW and visit www.glct.org for additional information. GLCT is located at 160 W. Main Street in Old Town Lewisville.

Asel Art Supply is currently having their Spring Watercolor Sale. This offers extreme values for materials many artists use. Visit www.aselart.com for additional information.

Art Critique is held the 4th Saturday each month. Anyone who would like to participate meets at the VAL gallery at 10:00 am for discussions, field trips, or art evaluation. All members are invited; there is no charge. Bring two pieces of your work for critique. These sessions are informative and the more people that participate, the more you get from the critique. We will also be talking about a possible excursion to one of the area galleries or museums. Please contact Lorraine Hayes at 972-317-4375 regarding the Art Critique.

R’lene has been working on a show for us at the Vista Ridge Mall. We are looking for June to do this, but there are details yet to be worked out. Additionally, R’lene says that Borders Book Store may be interested in having our paintings there. If you are interested in showing at either of these places, please let R’lene know at 972-874-3919.

We want to thank R’lene for all her efforts in getting publicity in the papers about our events. We have had something in the paper no less than each month since she has started doing Publicity. And, R’lene and JoAnn have volunteered to deliver our publicity material to local businesses and organizations. We appreciate their hard work in getting our information out to our community.

Thanks to Meg Smith for providing refreshment at the April meeting. We have a volunteer for May. Alice Brannen has volunteered to bring the snacks, and we want to thank her very much!”

A volunteer is needed for June. If you would like to provide refreshments at the June meeting, please contact Meg Smith at 972-539-9485.
