Call for Artists, Essential Nudes Show, Livermore
Posted February 17
Co-sponsored by LAA. Receiving will be on the 11th.
Reception and Awards ceremony will be on Thursday, the 15th
from 7:00 - 9:00. Refreshments will be served.
Artists across the centuries have celebrated the
human form in an unlimited variety of styles and mediums. We
are proud to supply our local talented artists with a venue
where they can proudly display their nudes as well as
clothed human forms. Last years show was a huge success and
many of the artists were grateful for this opportunity. Many
local venues don’t allow for nudity and artists are limited
on where they can show them. “It’s nice to have an elegant
outlet and opportunity to show and sell our work!” Artists
interested in a prospectus should email for the PDF, Barbara
Stanton at microangelo@earthlink.net or send a SASE to 1222
North P St. Livermore, CA 94551-1661.
