Lake Country Art Gallery gets an early start on Lake Country’s Artwalk


Each year the Lake Country Art Gallery presents a themed exhibition in
conjunction with Lake Country’s hugely popular annual Artwalk - Artwalk
proper will be held Sept 12th and 13th this year.

The Lake Country Art Gallery’s themed Artwalk exhibition will kick things
off early, with the juried exhibition will opening on Wednesday, August
26th and continuing to Sept 25th.

The theme this year is “Light: Illuminating Art”. Artists are invited to
interpret the theme in any manner, style or medium - 2D or 3D. “I’m alway
intrigued by how folks approach a themed exhibition. I like to leave a lot
of room for creativity of all sorts”, says gallery curator Katie Brennan.

As with the past few Artwalk theme exhibitions at the Lake Country Art
Gallery, artists do not need to be participating in Artwalk in order to be
a part of this exhibition.

“This is the third year where we’re inviting any and all artists to submit
work for this exhibition - you don’t have to be participating in Artwalk to
submit work”, explains Brennan. “We’ve opened this up to all artists as not
everyone is able to be a part of Artwalk, and we’d like as many artists as
possible to be a part of this exhibition at the Lake Country Art Gallery”.

There is still time for any artists wishing to participate in this year’s
Artwalk Themed exhibition at the Lake Country Art Gallery. Artists have
until August 22nd at 3pm to drop their work off at the gallery. For more
details on how to submit your work for this exhibition, visit
