“Art on the Lake XII” promises to be our best show ever. We celebrate 12 years of bringing together some of the finest artists for what has become one of the premier fine art shows in Southern California. We are planning a show that will showcase the work of more than 50 artists, some of whom have been part of the show since “ Art on the Lake I.” Many artists who participated in previous shows are returning this year, including Dennis Bentson and Ron Munoz, both local area photographers, Elaine Trei, watercolorist and oil painter, Leslie Kirchner and Susan LaBouri, well-known wildlife artist, and new artists from the Lake Arrowhead and surrounding communities Fine art jewelry artists, sculptors and ceramic artists add to the eclectic mix of art offered at the show and each year we welcome new artists whose work adds another dimension to our group of fine artists.

The Artists' Reception on Friday evening, August 19th, will be a special welcome to all the artists who make “Art on the Lake” the success that it is. The Reception is open to the public and there is no admission charge. Arts Council President, David Leach commented, "We like to show the artists how much we appreciate their making "Art on the Lake" such a wonderful show and having an opportunity to meet the artists and enjoy a glass of wine seems the perfect way to do so."
