Project Description

With support from the California Arts Council, Lake County Arts Council will continue to serve as the county’s central hub for arts and culture by sustaining accessible, community-driven programming across Lake County. Through the Soper Reese Theatre, Visions Art Gallery, and Lucerne Harbor Artists’ Village, LCAC provides space for artists, organizations, and residents to create, present, and experience the arts.
Funding will support core programs including Summer Youth Art Camp, Poetry Out Loud, the Spring Dance Festival, and year-round classes, workshops, and performances. These programs ensure consistent access to the arts, particularly in rural and historically under-resourced communities.
LCAC will continue building partnerships to expand participation, support local artists, and strengthen a connected, inclusive arts ecosystem throughout Lake County.

Organization Summary

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.
