Because COVID-19 remains a threat, the Lakes Region Art Association Gallery requires customers visiting their gallery, and LRAA artists members attending its monthly meetings there, to adhere to the strict guidelines for maintaining social distancing and to wear a mask. At its recent monthly meeting, members attending selected six fellow artists as their “Artists of the Month” for excellence in creating original art and photography. Each artist will have their winning entries on public display in five different bank lobbies in the region, and one in the Laconia Public Library, from mid-November to mid-December. The Lakes Region Art Association, Tanger Outlet Mall, suite 132, is now conducting a special exhibit titled Art for Giving, collecting Toys for Tots and raising funds for charitable giving this holiday season. It is open Thursday through Sunday, 10 a.m to 6 p.m.
