Members in Full Swing
At the end of July, our members got together for our annual Members' Picnic. There we were able to update our members on upcoming events, call to artist opportunities, and check up on TLP's artist in residence, Alex McClay. Our members were thrilled to see everything she is working on and how TLP has contributed to her growth as an artist!
We were also excited to announce upcoming exhibitions in the next few months for our members to participate in.
We can't wait to share with our local community!
