on the 2nd Wed. of the month (unless otherwise indicated)

Upcoming Program:

Create a Watercolor Autumn Themed Still-Life Scene with Cyn O'Brien

Wednesday, Oct. 11, 2023 at 7:00 pm

IN PERSON at Homer Township Public Library

14320 W. 151st Street, Homer Glen, IL 60491, 708-301-7908

Registration Link: https://www.homerlibrary.org/still

Cyn O’Brien will lead a hands-on watercolor lesson of creating an autumn themed still-life.  Cyn has worked in many subject areas and enjoys painting people and pets.  Her fascination in faces began as a makeup artist in the cosmetics industry.  Her later career was teaching art in an after school program, private art lessons, hosting art painting parties and teaching a variety of workshops in drawing and painting.  She also enjoys traveling to many areas of the world which inspires her passion for art and feeds the creative soul.


We hope you can attend this program which is free and open to the public!    The Lemont Artists Guild Meetings are open to all, you do not have to be a Lemont Artists Guild member to attend. 


Visit our new "Back of the Hall Page" to see our most recent LAG member's artwork voted for 1st place at our meeting!


We have one more Plein Air Event this year scheduled for Friday, Sept. 22, from 10 am to 12 pm at the 

Historic Gaylord Building in Downtown Lockport.

Friday, September 22-A FALL BONUS!

Historic Gaylord Building

200 W. 8th St., Lockport, IL 60441

in partnership with Gallery Seven (www.galleryseven.net), https://www.galleryseven.net/a-call-for-entries

The most accessible parking lot to the Historic Gaylord Building is the city lot on the East side of the Gaylord Building, just North of 8th St. off of State St. aka Archer Ave/Rt. 171.  There is additional parking around the building including South across 9th St. at the Illinois State Museum Norton Building (if you are okay to walk north across to the Gaylord Building).  Other options in which you would have to plan for walking a bit more than the East lot are the East & West Sides of Archer/Rt. 171/State St., and public parking near White Oak Library.  This area can be very high trafficked at certain times of the day so please allow time for traffic and parking.

Monday, Oct. 16, 2023

Monday, Dec. 18, 2023

 Where: Homer Township Public Library (address listed above)

Artists of all kinds are welcome to join our monthly meetup group! Meet other local artists (including some from the Lemont Artists Guild), discuss what you’re working on, and spend time creating alongside others. Bring your current project or art supplies to find inspiration & start a new one! New folks – and all art mediums – welcome!

While this is not an instructional class, the gathering of artists can help inspire you and give you feedback or ideas on your own artwork. Or, if you haven't been able to create but want to start, join us and see what others are making. Seeing others create can be just what you need to get your own project started!

No registration required; just show up!


Our member exhibit in August at Gallery Seven is past but,

Jay Anderson from Gallery Seven put together a wonderful video showcasing about 52 of the 62 pieces in the show and a few artist interviews (with Lynn Rozycki, Betty Burian Kirk, Liz Connelly) and a beautiful introduction by Nancy Uznanski.

You can view the video on YouTube:*

This past spring LAG was invited to be at Lemont Library in their display case.  The theme showcased photographs of Lemont in 

celebration of the Village of Lemont's 150th Anniversary!    

The case had photographs of Lemont by Matt Kosic, Gene Mark, and William Uznanski (William’s submitted by Nancy Uznanski).  

While the case is not on display anymore, view a fun video of the pictures here at:
