CAL NEWSLETTER, APRIL 2022 | | | | | It’s been a little while since we’ve connected here. Life gets in the way, and a few of us take on more than one role here in getting things done for CAL. Rather than wax philosophical, I will just get down to events, no apologies for delays or otherwise. We haven’t forgotten you!

7357 Hesperia Ave 91335 You Must RSVP that you will be attending so we have a head count, by April 22nd! Please RSVP to norakgroups@gmail.com This is a private event; not a public one. You may send along the info to any artist friends who wish to participate but who will need to rsvp and pay their $20.00 fee in advance of the event; not at the location. Photographers: this will mainly be for artists who sculpt, paint, draw. The reason is that the models see photos being taken of them as several potential separate works, and charge a significant amount over and above what it costs CAL to put on the event. You might like to make a private arrangement with the model for shoots. Photography for artists who want further reference for the specific view they’re working upon at the event: $20.00 is the fee for photography for this purpose, over and above the fee for the event, if you’re not a CAL member. If CAL members want to take a few shots for further work on their paintings, sculptures, or drawings, the same fee of $20.00 to the model applies; they just get the event for free by being members. Further details will be sent to those who have rsvp’d for the event.
For starters, here is a photo of the location, Reseda park: | | And the model and then dress she will wear, day of the event:

I am pleased to announce the acceptance of "Malibu" into the "Gleaming Apollo Exhibition" by Los Angeles Art Association, an all -media celebration of, and commentary on Los Angeles. Gleaming Apollo is an online exhibition and sale featuring artwork by LAAA artists running March 26 - April 16, 2021. CLICK HERE TO VIEW AND PURCHASE ARTWORK. | | I am extremely pleased to announce that "Whispers in the Shadows", has been curated into Black Box Gallery's "Dynamic: Shadow and Light" exhibition. Theme: Shadow and Light Photography is the recording of patterns of darkness and light. Shadows enhance the relationships of subjects in an image, they give definition and dimension, which compliments the quality of the light values. Photographers have used dramatic shadows and patterns in black and white images and have also explored using ethereal and moody shadows and textures in color photography. We will be looking for a range of how shadow and light are interpreted by contemporary photographers. | | I’m proud to announce that “Baker Street”, “Whispers in the Shadows” and “The Tank” all received Merit Awards for the “Black & White” Art Exhibition at the Art Room Gallery. All photographs are available on my website. | | |
