Blog Entry 37 of 37 The Happenings at LAC!
Lakewood Arts Council serves Jefferson County, and its Community Art Center and Gallery is located at 85 S. Union in Lakewood. LAC supports all of the arts: visual, music, theater, literary. My name is Cindy Haase and I am the LAC Board's President for 2009. As part of our outreach I will be posting items from my viewpoint of the happenings at LAC. You can also visit our official website at www.lakewoodartscouncil.org for information on how to join. It's a great community of friendly people. Check us out, and hopefully join in the fun.

LOCAL ARTISTS SHINE AT ARTS COUNCIL'S HOLIDAY BOUTIQUE


Once again, the Lakewood Arts Council is hosting its annual holiday arts and crafts sale, displaying a range of unusual items by our local artists. In keeping with its mission to support and promote community arts at all levels, the Arts Council takes no commission on sales and invites all artists to participate without jurying the items entered.

The result is a collection of skillfully made crafts as well as a selection of original fine art, pottery and jewelry. This year's collection includes work by many popular Lakewood artists. Visitors will find fiber art by Milli Barton, unique glass jewelry by Leslie Anne Bitgood and Jill Knapp, beautifully carved wood items by Michael Busse, one of a kind beaded necklaces by Heidi Domagala, windsocks by Rosie Dwyer, handmade yarn animals and crochet decorations by Lois Mool, etched glass by Pam Sanders, and carved animals by Colton Tapler. Artists from many surrounding cities have contributed work to this year's show; they have come from Thornton, Golden, Westminster, Denver and Morrison.

The show fills both levels of the LAC Art Center; buyers love to shop in the relaxed atmosphere of the Center and return again and again for their special purchase. This is an excellent way to support your local artists and craftsmen while finding that unique gift for the holidays.

The LAC Art Center is located at 85 S. Union Blvd., Lakewood. The show will continue through Dec. 23. Visiting hours are 10-5:00 Mon-Saturday. For further information call 303-980-0625 or www.lakewoodartscouncil.org
