Art shows have returned to the Lake Chapala Society gardens for the high season (October through March).
The art shows at LCS kick off with a huge Day of the Dead themed two-day Art Fair, to be held Friday and Saturday, October 13 and 14, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day.
This show will cover the entire LCS grounds front and back — so please explore, or you might miss part of the exhibition. Admission is free and there is ample parking on the lake front. Profits from the artist participation fees will benefit the LCS’ community outreach programs.
Regular one-day Art in the Garden Shows will resume on November 4,. The theme of that show will be “Día de la Revolución.” The following shows will be on: January 13 (“A Brand New Year”) and February 10 (“Valentine’s Day”).
A final two-day Art Fair will wrap up the season on March 9 and 10.
Because of LCS’ commitment to local community support, these shows will highlight handicrafts and art from the Chapala and Ajijic area.
The shows are not restricted to members of local art groups, but exhibit art from all artists, and give a needed location for local Mexican artisans and artists who do not typically have opportunities to sell their art.
There will be over 70 artisans and artists at these events. Also, the LCS Children’s Art Program will be selling original art, plus their art cards featuring the kids’ work. This provides important income for the young artists and their families.
Come and support local handicrafts and art, as well as children’s art, during a pleasant day in the LCS gardens. You can refresh yourself in the newly renovated café for a snack, a cold drink, or lunch. There’s also an on-site ATM for your convenience. Don’t miss out.
