SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – The Tahoe Arts Alliance will hold their inaugural Alliance Awards ceremony in the South Tahoe High School TADA Building on Saturday, April 13.

The list of performers: Bison Blue Grass, Tahoe Fire Dancers, Broadway in Blue, Miki Rae & Dylan, Molly DeLallo, Birds of a Feather, and solo performances from Marcia’s Shining Stars and Forever Dance, with a welcome from Howie Nave.

The awards themselves, known as the “Arty,” are created by local artist Bryan Yerian from Compass Clay Studios.

The event will be followed by an after-party at The Lake House. Tahoe Arts Alliance members will receive a free drink ticket at the show to be used at the after party.
