Tahoe is well known for its beautiful alpine lakes, the hundreds of miles of hiking and mountain biking trails, rock climbing and water sports, road cycling and miles and miles of beaches, along with the countless events and festivals that fill the summer season.
Tahoe is lesser known as an artists’ colony, but it should be. The mountains and the lakes draw and inspire creative endeavors. And, many artists have found a home to create and live in the Tahoe & Truckee region, and many open their homes and their studios to visitors (and, hopefully, art buyers) during art tours in the summer, including the Truckee Open Art Studios Tour from July 22 to 24.
Tim Hauserman talked to coordinator Carla Beebe about this year’s Truckee Open Art Studios Tour, who sees the region as a way to attract destination travelers interested in art and to promote the works of local artists. The month-long celebration of art in Truckee also includes a gallery tour and workshops. Find all of the details in “Artists open studios.” And, mark your calendars for the Tahoe Art League’s Artist Studio Tour in South Lake Tahoe from July 29 to 31.
Tahoe Weekly has been committed to promoting the arts in Tahoe and Truckee for many years, and continues that commitment in each edition of the magazine, dedicating two pages to arts coverage throughout all of Lake Tahoe, Truckee, Reno, Sparks and Carson City. Read The Arts in each issue to explore and enjoy all that Tahoe & Truckee have to offer.
