The Lynchburg Art Club (LAC) was formed in March, 1895, under the direction of Bernhard Gutmann, who was the first supervisor of art in the Lynchburg Public School System. At the same time, he was instructor of art at Lynchburg High School and a professor of art at Randolph-Macon Woman’s College. Mr. Gutmann, Mrs. John A. Mahood, and Louise Smith helped the Club thrive in the early years with exhibitions, classes for members, and opportunities for community participation. We are proud that the tradition of these original goals continues today.
