Mammoth Lakes 2017

48th annual Labor Day Festival of the Arts

September 2-4, 2017 in Mammoth Lakes, CA

I first attended this event way back in its second year, and am pleased to still be showing my work at the 48th annual show.

From the website of the Mono Arts Council:

Set high among the pines, this world class Festival provides fairgoers a beautiful viewing and buying experience.

Over the course of 4 days, visitors and residents of Mammoth Lakes will enjoy 110+ exhibiting visual artists, sample international food, local craft beers and wine, listen to live musical performances and entertain families with kid’s art workshops. The quality of the participating juried artists contributes to the Festival’s continued recognition as the premiere visual art show in the Eastern Sierra.

The unique alpine setting of Sam’s Woodsite transcends this free Festival into a truly enchanting experience for all ages. MAC is committed to enrich the community by showcasing the quality and diversity of the visual and performing arts at the highest levels.

Hoping to see you there!
