 Lake Chelan Fine Arts Festival
| The Lake Chelan Arts Council is pleased to announce our First Annual Fine Arts Festival. The Festival is based on a tradition of supporting and promoting the arts in the Lake Chelan Valley. The Fine Arts Festival will be held in the heart of the Summer when Lake Chelan is at its best. Thousands of visitors are enjoying not only the lake and great local wineries but also the Lake Chelan Valley business communities of Chelan and Manson.
The Riverwalk Park Fine Arts and Fine Crafts Venue will provide an area where artists can display and sell their original works of art. The Festival’s Traditional Arts and Crafts Venue will be a center point for traditional arts, crafts, culinary arts, entertainment, food, special events and shows which will bring people to the area. Click here for a sample of who will be showing.
The Juried Art Gallery will allow artists to highlight their best work in a separate venue. All artists who are accepted to participate in the Riverwalk Fine Arts and Fine Crafts Venue will automatically have one piece placed in the Juried Art Gallery. Additional information on the Juried Art Gallery will be available at a later date. We hope you will join us as we begin a new tradition in Chelan.
