A long-standing fall tradition in Highlands is the Art League’s Fall Colors Fine Art Show, held annually in the Civic Center at the Rec Park.
This indoor show draws visitors from the immediate area and beyond, and many return year after year. A few folks even plan their fall trips to Highlands around the show. It’s no wonder, because more than thirty of the region’s finest artists gather to display and offer their creations for sale.
This year’s event will take place Saturday and Sunday, October 18 and 19.
Both days, the show is open from 10:00 A.M. until 5:00 P.M.
This juried show offers paintings in oil, acrylic, watercolor, charcoal, pastel, and pencil. There are also unique works from woodworkers, jewelers, potters, and photographers. You are sure to find something that is a perfect fit for your home, or that would make a nice Christmas gift which, by the way, is right around the corner.
Just three blocks from Main Street, the show’s venue has plenty of free parking and the comfort of an indoor setting. You could easily walk to the Rec Park, but then many who visit the show just to browse find themselves carrying out beautiful pieces.
Admission is free, although donations, largely used to advance visual art among area youth, are appreciated.
Once inside, you may find yourself staying longer than expected, enjoying the beautiful art and chatting with the artists. Many of the artists are years-long participants, but with the Art League’s remarkable and continuing growth, several are also first-timers.
Enjoy fall in Highlands with its vibrant foliage, enticing hikes, places of interest, shopping in the unique stores, superb dining and lodging options, but be sure not to miss the Art League’s Fall Colors Fine Art Show. Like the colorful leaves, it comes but once a year!
