Spring Art Festival with New Event Photos
The Lynnfield Art Guild (LAG) held its Spring Art Festival, offered a judged Art Show and Salen and an opportunity for the public to create art and interact with local artisans and organizations. The festivities were held May 3rd on a sunny Saturday at the Lynnfield Meeting House and on the Common.
The day included the art show and sale, artisan, vendor, and local organization tables, creative activities including free face painting for kids, our famous bake sale, fabulous raffles, and prizes, as well as live music by the popular jazz and swing band, The Swamptones on the Common.
In the Meeting House over a hundred pieces of original art and photography by Guild Artists were for sale along with works by Lynnfield High School art students.
At the start of the show there was an announcement of the ribbon winners chosen by our three judges: Laurie Schmidt, life-long fine artist and artisan, retired art teacher and graduate of MassArt and RISD, whose work can be seen at venues and galleries throughout New England; Deidre Tao, owner of Deidre Tao Fine Art, a professional for more than three decades and graduate of the College of Visual and Performing Arts at University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth; and Robin D’Antona, an award-winning nature/landscape, portrait, and event photographer, who has jointly exhibited at the Cutter Gallery in Arlington.
The Savings Bank awarded four ribbons and cash prizes.
The new Jeanne Rose Award for Excellence was presented in memory of a recently deceased, long-term member.
