Celebrating 10 Years of Local Art, Local Hands, Local Heart.

This year marks the 10th Anniversary of a lot of special things at The Artisans Village.  Our artist Guild turns 10 as well as three of our flagship art events/competitions including The Annual Lake Country Juried Art Show.  We can’t wait to celebrate with you!  Everyone is invited to attend the opening reception of the 10th Annual Lake Country Juried Art Show at Barrel 118 on Thursday, June 25 from 5 – 7:30 pm.  We’re planning a weekend full of reasons to come out and support the arts while the show is on display at Barrel 118 before moving to the Gallery where it will be on display through September.  This is your chance to meet the artists, see (and purchase) amazing new works of art, and celebrate local creativity.
