Hello Art Lovers! Last Thursday, Artist Mel Smothers played his violin to an adoring crowd at Tahoe Art League (TAL) Gallery. It was the Opening Reception for the 21 local artists who are showing their works of art in our Summer Show.  Artists in the show also work in the Gallery, so come meet the artists Fridays to Mondays from 12-5 p.m.  The Summer Show is full of unique works of art, including: Oil and Acrylic Paintings, Relief Prints, Oil Pastel on Canvas, Photography, Watercolors, Fiber Art, Jewelry, Crochet, Soaps, and so much more!

You don’t want to miss the Summer Show, it closes Aug. 23!  

And this Thursday, June 18, is Third Thursday Community Mingle at TAL Gallery from 5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. Mingles are free and open to the public. We’ve invited all the Artists who will be on the Studio Tour this year to meet each other and engage with locals and visitors alike. The Studio Tour takes place Friday, July 31, through Sunday, August 2. Artists open their home studios to the public; it is a wonderful way to meet the artists, see them working, and acquire locally made artworks. Stop by Tahoe Art League Gallery on that weekend to grab a map and get started on your artful journey! 

PS: You can “sample” the Studio Tour at this Thursday’s Mingle with the display of Passport prizes donated by artists on the Tour. 

The Tahoe Art League is located at 3062 Lake Tahoe Blvd., South Lake Tahoe.
