Jackie Sandstrom, chair of Lakes Region Art Association art program, is requesting submissions of artistic hearts in recognition of the heroes who have been constantly on the ‘front line’ serving and saving the lives of COVID-19 victims, and to show our appreciation to US veterans who’ve served America.
“Now in its fourth week, we’ve received over 60 submissions of heart artwork. Our objective is to create many images of hearts each with a message of gratitude towards all the doctors, nurses, first responders and our military veterans in the Lakes Region, as a way to thank and recognize them for all they’ve done,” Sandstrom said.
Anyone who’d like to participate, artist or not, regardless of age, talented or not, to create a Heart for a Hero is invited to do so. The LRAA Gallery has the art supplies you’ll need and an LRAA member artists there to assist you, at no cost, on Thursdays through Sundays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., or do one or many at your home. Your Heart for a Hero will be displayed on the gallery walls for the for the month of March, and then on to the NH Veterans Home in Tilton, for the enjoyment of the veterans and staff. Some have really taken on the project with great gusto and submitted a number of paintings.
The Lakes Region Art Association and Gallery is a 501 (c-3) non-profit organization located in the Tanger Outlet Mall suite 132, 120 Laconia Road, Tilton. For information contact info@lraanh.org.
