On this trip, he visited many places in Virginia where Dorothy’s art may be found.

An art show was mounted for residents and visitors at Hidden Springs Assisted Living Center in Warren County, Virginia over the Mothers’ Day weekend. Thanks to Walter Mabe, Lalo Vice-President Operations, and his wife Taffy, a member of the Lalo Advisory Group, the art show brought great joy to all who viewed it.
“We are pleased to be able to place some of our extensive collection of art for people to see,” said Walter. “We even made a sale,” he added. “But we never do it for the money.”
Lalo Society Member Artists enjoy having their artwork seen. The Hidden Springs show included original art, prints and photographs. “We appreciate the opportunity to have our artists’ work “Live On” through our proprietary online tracking process,” said Walter.
Upcoming Art Shows and receptions are scheduled at Loving Arms, also in Warren County, and Sunnyside in Harrisonburg, Virginia.
“Art shows at independent living facilities allow for win-win possibilities,” said Lalo President Charles “Chips” Lickson. “We are delighted to place good art at these venues so the art can be seen and enjoyed by residents and guests and also create possibilities for sale of the work by member artists,” he added.
Letting Art Live On (LALO) is a mission of the organization. “Artworks in independent living facilities fit right into this mission,” Walter added.

prize winning table display for the Samuels Public Library annual fund raiser – this year’s motif, “A Taste of Mysteries”.
Hundreds of people from Front Royal, the Washington D.C. metro area and surrounding regions learned about “Letting Art Live On” at the Saturday evening program on April 16, 2016. Organizations which participated this year picked mystery books and based their display on that theme. Lalo selected Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express as the book featured and provided a delicious group of desserts prepared by Lalo Society members. And Lalo added a collector’s model train (Thanks to Bruce Benzie) and 
many pieces of art including paintings done by Lalo artists Walter Mabe, Roxolana Armstrong, Deb Schneider, Bryane Lickson, Johanna Elik, Barbara Jennings, Charles Lickson and D.J. Werley.
Lalo is a relatively new organization in support of the arts, artists and collectors. It launched operations in Front Royal and Luray as 2015 ended. The brainchild of long time Front Royal native Bryane Miller Lickson, herself an artist of national repute, Lalo, Inc. is the corporate anagram for “Let Art Live On”. The Company operates both an online gallery, “Studio Bee Gallery,” and physical galleries in both Front Royal and Luray.”
Many artists and collectors want their art (created by them or collected by them or their family) to Live On, so the Lalo galleries, online or in-person, represent work by area artists and others.
“We were delighted to participate in the Samuels Library fund-raising, not only was it a fun evening, but we also had a chance to show some artworks by Lalo artists, to eat well and to dress up as we provided desserts at our table”, said Bryane. “As an added bonus to the evening, we garnered the prize for “Best Costumes”, she added.
Many people did not know that an online and national art support company existed in Front Royal. “The Library event helped us get out the word on letting art live on”, said Lalo President Charles “Chips” Lickson, cofounder and husband of Bryane.
“Please visit our galleries online or at our physical locations in both Front Royal and Luray”, encouraged the Licksons. “It doesn’t cost anything to look and maybe you’ll fall in love with a wonderful piece of art – and, in turn, support the good work of our artists,” they added.
Walter Mabe, Lalo Vice-President of Operations and a member artist, reminded people that Lalo, Inc. provides an opportunity to join the Lalo Society and support the mission of the new organization as well as have fun being with fellow artists, art lovers and supporters. Information about membership in the Lalo Society can be found on here, by emailing Walter Mabe or Charles Lickson, or by calling him at: 540-636-2515.
