The Local Art Entity (TLAE), a network of artistry in Hot Springs, is now participating in Gallery Walk on the first Friday of every month. They will be hosting Art Markets and Open Mic Nights during Gallery Walk at The Club House Hot Springs, an exciting new event venue at 118 Arbor Street.
The Local Art Entity organizes collaborative programs and artistic developmental services into a network that helps grow, nurture, and support local artists of all kinds. The network structures class offerings, specialty workshops, art markets, live shows, and exhibitions, as well as local festivals and networking meet-ups. They welcome artists, instructors, and collaborators of all realms in Hot Springs and the surrounding areas to join the network of local artistry.
It is TLAE’s mission to provide communities a fair way to learn, share, and teach forms of art. It is furthermore their mission to uphold the highest standards of quality and integrity in their artists, collaborators, and instructors to ensure growth and unity. The network aims to be a positive, robust, and effective influence in the art community to create and enhance the ability of local artists to establish their place in the art market.
Over a decade ago, TLAE was created for pop-up art markets and Yoga in the Park events in New Orleans, Louisiana by Director and Instructor, Amanda Mitchell. Having relocated to Hot Springs, Mitchell now hopes to connect and share her knowledge and experience to create artistic community events.
Mitchell is a certified Therapeutic & Restorative and Ashtanga Yoga instructor. She has an extensive background in dance, cheer, baton, as well as being an accomplished seamstress and creative. “It’s important to me to create a platform that helps artists connect and thrive within their communities.”Registration for winter art markets, events, programs, and workshops is now open at www.thelocalartentity.com.
