LSAG HISTORY ~
The Lone Star Art Guild started in Brenham, Texas, in April 1961. The purpose of the association is to provide annual exhibits/competitions featuring award-winning artist and their artwork.
Since their early days nearly 60 years ago, they have grown to include many art leagues within a 200-mile radius of Houston. The Membership-based leagues encourage artists of every level from elementary students to professionals--unique in the art world. LSAG is a non-profit organization as are the art leagues that belong to this guild.
A VOLUNTEER OPERATED ORGANIZATION SERVING THE COMMUNITY
The Lone Star Art Guild (LSAG) organization offers independent, qualifying art leagues an opportunity to connect and compete with one another both virtually and in person and at a local and regional level. With different skill divisions and multiple media categories, artists compete on a peer-to-peer level. All artists are encouraged to enter an LSAG-sanctioned show hosted by any member league. As well as belonging to LSAG you can enter more than one show in a given year.
