Woodcarver Recognition
Andrew Stoll's possessions speak loudly of his interests. He has a vast collection of books ranging from classics to fantasy. Intermixed with his unique drawings are Star Wars collectibles. And like any teenage boy, he enjoys his computer and video games.
Photo Quest
This contest is to give Amateur Photographers (earning less than $500.00 per year) the opportunity to have the chance to exhibit their art and get recognition for their works.
Missoula Childrens Theatre
Every summer a “little red truck” pulls into the Lake area on Monday morning carrying two young thespians from the Missoula Children’s Theater who begin a wonderful week of theater experiences for 60+ children. Saturday July 17, brings out the costumes from the back of the “little red truck” for the dress rehearsal. The first show begins at 2 p.m., with a second performance later that day. The cast party makes a perfect ending for a wonderful week trodding the boards. It is difficult to express the wonder of watching the development of the kids during that week.
Welcome to Arts at the Lake!
Lake Arts Council
We are dedicated to nurturing the arts at the Lake of the Ozarks. We function as an umbrella over ten independent arts organizations, and in our own right, bring performing groups to the area and sponsor programs that help develop artistic talents in our youth.
Lake of the Ozarks
Lake of the Ozarks is located in mid Missouri about half way and 60+ miles south of a line between St. Louis and Kansas City. The Lake of the Ozarks has a shoreline greater than the State of California, thus leading to the name, “The Midwest Coast”.
