Recognition of Members at this year's convention:
Share Your Own Inspiring Story TODAY
Recognition this year at convention will include honoring volunteers and other categories of special members listed below.
What you need to know from the outset:
ANY LSAG Member can and should notify us of their OWN service or accomplishments.
ANY LSAG Member can and should notify us of their FELLOW MEMBERS' service or accomplishments.
ANY LSAG League can and should notify us of their members' service or accomplishments.
There is NO responsibility on a league to conduct formal nominations or voting. In fact, we discourage it as it is not in the spirit of what we are trying to do.
You do not need to be present at convention to be recognized.
We
will be recognizing volunteers who serve their league or LSAG past or
present, volunteers in their community in some art capacity past or
present (teachers, philanthropists, or other), those who have received
some art related accolade, honor, or achievement the past year, and
those who deserve being recognized for their lifetime achievement in
art.
1-Volunteers in a league or with LSAG: Past and Present
Are
you a volunteer this year with your league or another LSAG league?
Have you volunteered in the past? If you have ever served your league
or LSAG in any capacity, please let us know. We'd like to recognize you
at convention for your contribution. We'll also have special
recognition for those who have served for 3 years or more whether those
are consecutive years or separate years.
2-Volunteers in the Community: Past and Present
Have
you served the community with art? Do you share art by teaching or
doing outreach to / for others? Please share with us what you do or
that of a fellow inspiring artist. We want to recognize those who have
done art related community service presently or in the past.
Additionally, special recognition will also be given to those who have
served in the community artfully for 3 years or more.
3-Art Achievement: Do you have an art related achievement outside of
LSAG that will inspire others in our guild? The exciting art elements
of your life can inspire all of us. Please share with us. Did you get
your signature status in another art organization or made it in your
first juried exhibit? All levels of art achievement are important.
4- Lifetime Art Achievement:
This
special recognition is for those who have been longtime members of LSAG
for 10 years or more (does not have to be in the same league nor
consecutive) or can be given posthumously. This award, as the name
states, is for artists who have over the course of the 10 yrs. or more
or in their lifetime created a body of art work in any of the LSAG
recognized categories or a combination of categories. This award is
given to current LSAG member artists. It can also be awarded
posthumously to a deceased member by presenting it to a family member or
designee in their honor.
What We Need:
--Name (first and last) of yourself or the fellow member
--Home league of yourself or the fellow member
--The award specified above that you/ they are being recognized for
--How you / they have contributed for said award
(see descriptions above)

Volunteer service in the community-- I volunteer with ARTOutreach to
