For the next two weekends 29-32 artists will be featured in the North Lake Tahoe and Truckee areas. The Open Studio event allows one entry into their private studios.

The tour includes Paintings, Artistry in Wood, Photography, Ceramics, Printmaking, Constructivist Sculputure & Neon, Glass, Stained Glass, Kilnformed & Fused Glass, Wearable Arts, Handweavings, and Pottery. The mission of North Tahoe Arts is to support the arts in the North Tahoe and Truckee communities through exposure, education, and participation.

Randall Strauss' (shown above) paintings often depict the everyday life found at the boat marinas of Lake Tahoe, the back streets of Truckee, and the trails around Fallen Leaf Lake. This year's ARTou show will include watercolors from recent travels and new large oils of Lake Tahoe.
