Artist’s Division is listed on the member’s CAL profile.  Previous participants in LSAG shows can go to http://lsag.wspub.com to verify their division. 

Each artist decides the Category in which to place his or her work. The show chair reserves the right to disqualify any artwork not entered in the appropriate Category. Direct all category questions to:  president@conroeartleague.com. 

The following Division/Category combinations are allowed in the CAL Spring 2021 Judged Show.
