Celebrating our Artists – past, present, future

Many of Mountain Lakes early residents were artists, authors, singers and actors. There is a long history of cultivating and appreciating art – useful beautiful pieces in the home as well as community efforts. Throughout the Centennial year, we aim to continue the tradition of a creative community and promote artistic endeavors. We invite you to participate in one or all of the Centennial art events.
