Art on the Lake.1
August 20-22, 2010

The Eleventh annual Art on the Lake Fine Art Show at the Marina Resort, Big Bear Lake, CA.

Over fifty artists from throughout Southern California will exhibit their work at this annual festival and artists will be inside the “big white tent,” as well as on the beautiful grounds of the Marina Resort.  Artwork will include a variety of mediums, including paintings in oil, acrylic and watercolor, sculptures, jewelry, and photography.  

In celebration of our tenth anniversary, painter, sculptor and photographer, John Holland was asked to be the featured artist.  His painting, “Musical Chairs” was featured on the cover of the program for the first Art on the Lake event in 2000 and is again showcased on the cover of this year’s program.  John has exhibited at each of the ten Art on the Lake Festivals.

John has a BA degree in Biology from UC Riverside, spent three and a half years as an Officer in the US Navy and then enrolled in the Masters program in architecture at UC Berkeley. Over two years spent at the College of Environmental Design, his interests changed to graphic design and art. His painting, “Nova Scotia Dorys” was selected for the National Watercolor Show. During this period he also became interested in sculpture and studied with Betty Davenport Ford in Claremont, California.

Hours for the show are 10-4 on Saturday and Sunday. Open to the pubic, no admission fee. Artists Reception is Friday  evening Aug. 20, 2010.
