The NLTA is comprised of over 100 artists, artisans and light industry, all located in the Neumann Leathers complex, which is currently under threat of complete demolition. As part of its efforts to save the site, the NLTA will soon present an alternative plan which saves most of the buildings and includes new construction in a feasible redevelopment.

• "Exhibit A"  is an art opening of Neumann artists at Maxwell's, Sept. 15 at 7 p.m., which will feature figurative, representational works and photography. The show previews Sept. 6 and runs through Sept. 26.
• "Exhibit B" is a second art opening of Neumann artists at Mawell's, Sept. 29 at 7 p.m., which will feature abstract works. The show will run through Oct. 17.
• A Musical Benefit performance at Maxwell's, also on Sept. 29th. Performers will include Yo La Tengo, Outpost, the Jeremy Wallace Trio and Bob Burt's Five Dollar Priest. Doors open at 7 p.m. and tickets are $25. 

Neumann artists who will be showing will include Jennifer Krause, Mike Longo, Michelle Doll, Tim Daly, Bob Piersanti and Mary Ann Farley, among many others. Each art reception will provide free draft beer and wine from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.
