Art is a Part of all we do - from our free kids art Saturday workshops to ARTour to our monthly exhibits and beautiful Artisan Shop. Click around our website and see what we have going. POPULAR EVENTS: ARTour and Kids Art Camp
Tahoe ARTour, our open studio tour, will be held July 8,9,10 and July 15,16,17. Each artist volunteers his/her time to handle a portion of the event responsibilities. Studios are spiffed up, art is created and each artist helps with publicity, the opening reception, the exhibit or brochures, publicity, sponsorship and more. The event attracts guests from Truckee and North Lake Tahoe communities as well as from Reno, Sacramento, the San Francisco Bay area and points between. Visitors from around the USA and farther afield are caught up in the fun and end up at artist’s studios while visiting the area to golf, boat or hike. We’ve come to especially appreciate spouses of golfers who are often art lovers! The Kids’ Art Camp will be held the weeks of July 11th, 18th, and 25th. Location Rideout Community Center. We are so fortunate to have such wonderful and dedicated teachers for this three week camp. Each year they spend many hours developing interesting and creative projects for children to complete during the camp, often using recycled or green materials. The program is open for children between the ages of 5 and 12. Although designed as an art camp for local kids, it attracts families that are visiting the area. Visiting parents call us months ahead of time to confirm the location and dates so they can reserve camp sites or cabin rentals near by.

The work of our young artists from Kids Art Camp 2026 ✨ this year was one for the books!

This year we had such a blast that our Art Camp Team has decided to add another session 🎨 this September for three mornings of hands on creativity, exploration, and FUN!

Designed for potty-trained artists ages 3–6, this camp is all about the process, not perfection. Young artists will experiment with different materials, learn how to use new tools, and discover their own creative ideas through playful, exploratory art activities.

⏰ 9 AM–12 PM

Our last Young Artist Camp was full of messy masterpieces, curious minds, and lots of creative joy—and we can’t wait to do it again!

Spots are limited, so help us spread the word to the little artists in your life. Register today!

10 days left to experience Latimer Plein Air! 🌿🎨

Today we’re featuring artist Renee Ruggles, whose love of nature comes through in her thoughtful landscapes and richly textured pastels.

Renee works in both traditional oils and pastels, capturing the beauty she finds in the world around her—from beloved landscapes and garden blooms to the subtle textures of nature. (Renee Ruggles)

Her work is part of our Latimer Plein Air exhibition at the Tahoe City Gallery Annex, but only for 10 more days!

The exhibit closes August 29, and all original artwork is available for purchase.

Stop by the Annex during regular gallery hours to experience the collection in person and find a piece of the natural world to take home.

Renee Ruggles is a traditional oil painter and pastel artist who finds inspiration in the beauty of everyday life and the natural world. Her work explores everything from landscapes and florals to portraits and still lifes, with a particular appreciation for color, texture, and the details that make ordinary moments extraordinary.

A little construction, but the art is still shining through!

If you’ve noticed our Tahoe City Gallery wrapped in scaffolding and protective sheeting, don’t worry—we’re OPEN and welcoming visitors throughout the renovation.

The building is getting a beautiful exterior refresh with new siding, so while things may look a little different from the outside, you’ll find the same inspiring artwork, friendly faces, and creative community waiting inside.

Stop by to explore our Latimer Plein Air exhibit, discover original artwork by local and regional artists, and support the arts while we spruce up our home.

Thank you for your patience and continued support, we can’t wait to welcome you in!
