1)   Please help us stay on top of the floor cleaning, especially this spring.  The Guidelines are under the Book of Clover, and are meant to reduce the work load for all of us.

2)   Bar codes that you have requested are in the right side of the shelves under the TV.  When printed, they will be there, and it is the artist’s responsibility to check for accuracy and attach them to their art work.  Typically, bar codes that belong in the book are put on the artist’s page.

3)   Don’t forget to use the bar codes in the Book of Clover if there is no attached bar code on a piece of art work.  You DO NOT need to search the console for anything!

4)   Please do not cut your bar codes out if there are useable labels left on a page.  The page can be put through the printer to print on the unused labels.  Simply peel off your labels, and replace the page on the shelf.Description text goes here

Our Mission Statement: "To enhance the ability of its members to create art and to further the appreciation of the arts in the greater Lakes Region area of New Hampshire by education, promotion, display, and sale of the visual fine arts.”

 As part of our efforts to increase foot traffic, we have introduced a Monthly Free Art Drawing. Visitors to the Gallery can enter the drawing and sign up for our customer newsletter at the same time (one entry per visitor each month).

 We are currently seeking donations of artwork (original or print) from Association members to use as prizes. (One per month.) The drawing will take place on the last open Gallery day of each month.  I’m thinking to alternate photography with brush art each month. We need a Photograph for May.

 Winners and donating artists may be featured on social media and in local newspapers, providing great publicity for both the Gallery and the artist.

Please be sure to mention the drawing to visitors. You might also reassure them that we send only one email per month, as some people are hesitant to share their email address with multiple mailing lists.

Contact Lynn Casey if you can assist with the exhibit set up.

‍It’s an efficient, workable and affordable program!  If you are having difficulties, don’t give up, get help.  Some have encountered the need for a code to sign in- just do what it asks, and you’ll get in.  If you still have difficulty getting in, delete the app entirely, and re-install.  Next, if you can’t figure out what to do, try the written instructions.  Contact Gail to have them sent to you, or make an appointment to meet with her for one-on-one instruction.

IMPORTANT:  Requests for trades and coverage MUST be made through Homebase.  Even if you have made an agreement with someone, one of you must make the request, and the other respond, through Homebase.  Please use schedule@lraanh.org for anything else scheduling related. 

‍ ‍

Due to the increased use of bar codes, we have a reduced incidence of errors!  Thanks to all who have made this a priority!  Please remember to use inventory@lraanh.org to request bar codes, and send a quick text to Gail that you have sent a request.  (Just because she doesn’t check the email daily.)

Using the proper email address for Gallery contacts ensures that your contact is seen.  Sending to private emails, texts, and Messenger means that the recipient may have to search for it, if they see the notification, amongst all the various ways they may have received it.  Or they may miss it altogether.  And someday, that person may not be the one doing that job anymore, or the Back-Up may be handling it at the time.  Sending all bar code requests to one place means your information gets to the right place!

To maximize attendance and energy at our ArtTalks, shows, and other events, our plans have been made for 2026. The earlier we can  promote them—through our newsletter, website, and social media—the better chance we have of drawing a great crowd and building excitement.

Being part of the Association means being an active part of the team that keeps things running smoothly and creatively. From event planning and setup to promotion and maintenance, it takes all of us working together to keep the Gallery- and the Association- vibrant and thriving.

We welcome your ideas and participation! Whether it’s suggesting a topic, hosting a talk, or lending a hand behind the scenes, your involvement truly matters. 

Let’s keep growing together and making each event better than the last!

Is it your time…to hang in the Gallery?  Have you been unsure of yourself, fearful that you aren’t good enough to hang?  Find that it doesn’t fit in your schedule?  Or any other roadblocks that keep you from looking into this?  Contact Sherwood or Gail to talk about it and see what we can do to help you overcome whatever obstacles that might hinder you.

Someone to manage off-site venues. Contact Sherwood or Gail for more details if you think you can help.

 Your willingness to share a bit of your time and knowledge helps keep the Gallery strong, supported, and running smoothly for everyone.

We are now requiring that all art submissions and payments be made by the "Art Drop Off" date, which are listed at the top of the registration forms. It is also important to register by the date listed on the forms.

Help Us Become Polished and Professional. To ensure our exhibits look their best, we print all wall tags in advance—so completing your registration on time is key. You’ll find registration forms and exhibit details linked in our newsletters and on the website.

Hint:  Mark important dates on your calendar—with an alert a few days before the actual deadlines. Then, get in the habit of checking your calendar each morning.

We try to be accommodating with pick up times, and have created a safe space in the back for your artwork.  Please remember to pick up as soon as possible!
