Hot Off the Press:
IMPORTANT:
Please check with the local league directly to verify if the spring show you are interested in will take place.
Some shows have been canceled due to Coronavirus / Covid-19 outbreak.
While everyone is adjusting to current advisories, much is being done to reach out to their members & communities, & they may not have had the opportunity to inform us of their plans.

IMPORTANT:
The cutoff date for having an LSAG sanctioned show to qualify for Convention 2020:
April 25th
Final reporting of wins to qualify for Convention 2020 is due by May 1st.
*******************************************
******************************************
Our website address has long been
http://lsagtx.weebly.com/
for a number of years.
But we were paying for a re-direct for those members who had not made the adjustment.
Since a simple Googling of Lone Star Art Guild or the former address sends you to the correct address at no cost, we are no longer having the added expense of paying for this.
Again, while the former address of lonestarartguild.org no longer re-directs you here,
if you were to put it in Google, you will see our correct website address comes up.
Please make a note of it.
Note that the address for the database is not affected.
************************************************************************************
Local League Updates will be taken next in February.
