With support from the California Arts Council, Lake County Arts Council(LCAC) will:
• Provide quality arts venues and support local artists and arts organizations.
• Encourage economic growth for artists and business professionals supporting arts in Lake County.
• Administer Poetry Out Loud, Summer Youth Art Camp, Spring Dance Festival and other youth related programming.
• Promote all to participate and celebrate in many diverse artistic styles, mediums, and cultures through exposure, education, and celebration.
The Lake County Arts Council has an expansive list of programs and services, with two main buildings we operate: the Soper Reese Theatre and Main St. Art Gallery. We have also begun managing the Lucerne Harbor Artist’s Village. The Soper Reese Theatre allows LCAC to provide a professional venue for performers and artists of all types as well as collaborate with groups such as the Lake County Theatre Company and the Lake County Symphony. The Main Street Gallery allows LCAC to work with local artists to display artwork in the gallery and hand made items in the gift shop. We also provide space for local artists to give instructional classes in many different art styles including watercolors, pastels, improvisation and bead-work. In addition we also have a strong representation or poets and authors as well as monthly group meetings for local writers to share and collaborate on work. We are proud to be continually looking for new ways to introduce art to the community and improve our relationships with other artists and organizations.
