Verdugo Hills Art Association hosts member art show at Alhambra City Hall in April

If you visit Alhambra City Hall during the month of April, you’ll be in for a feast for the eyes! Starting April 3rd and running through the 27th, Alhambra City Hall will host the e Verdugo Hills Art Association (VHAA) member art show, a juried exhibition of paintings and images under the theme “In Awe of Nature.”

As artists and observers, VHAA members derive inspiration from their surroundings, and their prime motivator is nature. Nature provides every possible hue, variation and color combination. It allows them to see shapes both organic and symmetrical.

“Nature has been our constant inspiration throughout the pandemic and currently as we meander in and out of u season.” said the exhibit organizers from VHAA. “Our members love to travel not only to experience the people and cultures of di erent places, but also to explore the ecology and natural phenomena that make places unique. As we share our experiences, we enrich our lives and those of our friends.”

The exhibit’s theme arose from one such discussion among their large group of landscape and nature painters and photographers. As a juried exhibition, prizes will be awarded by the judging artist. Entries must have been created within the last two years and have not been in a previous VHAA member exhibition.

VHAA is a community of artists of all skill levels, in which members can develop and build their own capabilities in a fun and supportive environment. ey do this through a range of programs that give their members the opportunity to learn while forging strong relationships with other artists. ese programs include monthly demonstrations by well-regarded professional artists, workshops with member-favorite artists, several juried exhibitions per year, art sharing opportunities at our monthly meetings, and weekend group paint-out days.

“In Awe of Nature” exhibit runs from April 3rd to April 27, 2023 at Alhambra City Hall, 111 S. First St. Alhambra, CA 91801. For more information about Verdugo Hills Arts Association, visit http:// www.verdugoarts.org/.
