Nearby the painters, there will be DNR Naturalists to give history, facts, and identification of the surrounding forests and area the painters are using for inspiration. Food Trucks will be on the premise and patrons will be able to try a variety of their offerings. Dessert and complimentary beer and wine will be served. A live auction with unique gifts, experiences, and artwork will cap off the evening.

What does this fundraiser do for LOLA?

Our summer fundraiser is our biggest donation event of the year. The money collected during this fundraiser goes to many of the events we champion. Arts Education..we raise money for a variety of programming, keeping costs low for participants, especially children. Community Arts Events…great music events call for great musicians, and we pay those musicians so they can provide enrichment and vibrancy to the Northwoods.

We can’t do it without your help and the summer fundraiser is a great way to have a lovely evening in support of LOLA.

This video is why we do what we do. Support arts education and enrichment.

DINNER. The Boathouse and Taco Dan food trucks will be parked and serving food with The Sawbuck bakery and desserts for after. Complimentary beer, wine, and soda will be available.

ENTERTAINMENT. Bob Palmer will be performing acoustic hits from the 60’s,70’s and beyond. Watercolorists Dale Popovich and Janet Schermeister and Oil Painter McCall Hocking will be live painting the beautiful surrounding landscapes. Please watch, feel free to ask questions. They are excited to celebrate the relationship of art and nature, and how each is so important.
