Courtyard to be enclosed
A new milestone was set by the
Llano Fine Arts Guild in its 23-year
history on January 5 when the group
enthusiastically voted to roof and
enclose the present courtyard and to
pay off the remaining property debt
on the building at 503 Bessemer.
The new, larger area thus gained
would almost double the present
gallery space and possibly be offered
for rent to public and private Llap6
groups at a minimal fee. it was
decided.
Members demonstrated continued
faith in the guild by immediately
donating more than $600 in cash and
pledging an additional $1,400 toward
the new room.
Thus, the debt assumed on the
historic old Kothmann Building for
$9,000 in 1978 will itself go into the
records as a new. larger debt is
assumed by the hard-working guild.
As historian and former LFAG
reporter Fannie Suffel wrote in the
1986 guild cookbook: "The greatest
contributions the art guild have
made and continue to make to the
community are to provide a beautiful
art gallery for the city of Llano and
