<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Lake Country Art Gallery gets an early start on Lake Country’s Artwalk</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"></span><br></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">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.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">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. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">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.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">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. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">“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”.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">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.
