Local artists and gallery owners met over the winter to discuss ways they could work together. The first collaborative effort will be an Art Along the Lake event on Memorial Day weekend.

Early last winter local art galleries gathered to see where there might be synergies and opportunities to support each other. Out of those meetings came a few projects.

The “Art Along the Lake” event was planned for Memorial Day weekend, and the galleries have coordinated their events and schedules to create a full weekend of demonstrations, hands-on activities, music and refreshments.

A critical component is an art gallery guide. The guide, just published, lists 12 art galleries and includes a map and a link to information about other local arts activities.

In addition to supporting the Memorial Day weekend, the guide will be useable throughout the year.
