Three years ago the Lake Arts Council started a program allowing the public to donate wall art to the Lake Arts Council in exchange for a tax exempt donation receipt. In return the Lake Arts Council has been selling the art at drastically low prices. Prior to the start of this program there was a wall devoted to local artist exhibits. The response to the program was so great that in order to display all the donated art the exhibit of local artists was displaced.

It is time now to bring back our local artists to our “Wall of Fame”. In order to do so it is necessary to reduce our inventory of donated art and limit it’s showing to a single wall in the Lake Arts Council office, located in Stone Crest Mall. In order to do so all of the art on the East wall will be sold at one of three prices - $1, $5, $10 or $15, based on size.

Art on the West wall will be marked down from their current asking prices by 50%. This is an opportunity to buy some very nice art for giveaway prices and/or to buy quality frames at prices far below market value.

This will be a one day only sale, held on Saturday, November 3, from 10:00a.m . to 3:00p.m. There will be a moratorium on accepting donated art until after the sale is over.

We are proud of our local artists and missed being able to show their work in our office. Help us clean house in order to return them to their place in our office. Come look and buy!
