Opening Reception at the Fine Arts Building
The Fine Arts Building, Los Angeles, hosted a wonderful opening reception for the BAGSC exhibit on Thursday, October 14, with catering from our good friends from Burger Continental. BAGSC members (along with their friends and family) at the opening included: Leslie Walker, Janice Sharp, Joan Keesey, Bonnie Born Ash, Veronica Raymond, Morgan Kari, and Deborah Shaw.
The show will be up into November. The building itself is worth the visit, and is an exceptional venue for displaying botanical art. Anyone interested in purchasing artwork will contact the artist directly via email. Leslie will let us know about when the show will come down once the schedule is finalized.
Thank you to all the artists who were able to step up to the plate on such short notice.

The BAGSC exhibit sounds like it would be worth a trip to L.A. Can you post more information about the closing date and the number of paintings on exhibit? Have pics of the exhibit paintings been posted?

There are 39 pieces in the exhibit, by thirteen artists from the Botanical Artists Guild of Southern California, in watercolor, color pencil and graphite (mostly watercolor). We haven’t posted any of the exhibit paintings, but the building itself is a work of art and well worth the trip. Interestingly, we don’t yet have a firm date on when the show is coming down — it depends on when the next exhibit is ready. We’re anticipating sometime between 6 November and mid-November.
