START
LVCA is looking forward to our START, or SummerTime ART program this summer 2022. This opportunity will be funded through The Foundation for Enhancing Communities, "Arts for All" grant. LVCA will be holding a Kids Art Club and a Mosaic Mural Camp. Mosaic Mural Art Camp begins with a week of in-studio time to learn the skill and then goes on location for a week to install the mosaic mural. Young people learn how to prepare and plan, work with mosaic tiles, and coordinate with others to produce an overall design.
Art Club 2022, is a summer season, youth-focused, art experience in a setting that is relaxed and collaborative. It is designed to help students connect and communicate with each other through learning new art skills. More details and information will be coming out soon. If you have a location or idea for a mosaic mural please send an email to lebanonartscouncil@gmail.com.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Volunteers could help out by being available at events, teaching a class, hosting on First Friday's, organizing the office space, or helping with summer camp.

The board members work together to oversee the daily business operations, develop and support new events and programs, and are available for First Friday events and gallery open hours.
