Literacy Action of Central Arkansas 

Presents Shine a Light on  Literacy

LACA will “light up the night” of Feb. 19 with a glittering event. A special silent auction will cast an even brighter light on LACA’s important work as dozens of 
Arkansas artists create unique works of art from simple utilitarian lamps.

6 p.m. 
The Arkansas Governor’s Mansion 
Grand Hall 
Literacy Action of Central Arkansas (LACA) is a volunteer-driven  
organization that teaches illiterate adults to read, and teaches oral 
and written English to non-native speakers. LACA provides services 
that change lives, families and our community. LACA enables  
personal empowerment for hundreds of individuals through direct, 
one-on-one experiential training.

When I first picked up that tired old ginger jar style lamp from LACA, I thought what have I gotten myself into??  But with a little imagination, I turned the lamp into something fun and had so much fun in the process, that I went out and purchased a second lamp to redesign.   I had a great time making these lamps for the auction and hope they will provide a fun, whimsical and artistic touch to someone's home.  Be sure to come out and bid on some great artists redesigned lamps and help raise money for LACA.
