The Lake County Arts Council is a self-funded non-profit volunteer organization dedicated to:

  • Assist artists of all disciplines to create and market their work;
  • Assist residents of Lake County to find and enjoy local art and artists;
  • Assist in the creation and marketing of entertainment
    and entertainment venues in Lake;
  • Create a positive image in California and around the world
    for the arts in Lake County.

In addition, we seek to have fun with and inform our membership. Being a member of the LCAC has its own rewards. Being a volunteer is more fun yet.

CALL FOR POETRY


Three local writers are seeking your original poems and stories (under 700 words long) to publish in “Creative Expressions,” a publication in the Lake County Record-Bee. “Creative Expressions” is a unique opportunity for Lake County writers of all ages to publish original work.

Each issue is edited by three Lake County writers: Sandra Wade, Lourdes Thuesen and Mary McMillan, who will solicit and select the work to be published. If your work is selected, it will appear in the weekend edition of the newspaper, on page B-1.

Poems and stories of any kind or theme are welcome. Please send them to mtmcmillan@mac.com in the body of your e-mail. In the subject line, put “CE Submission.”
