We are a nonprofit enriching lives through local art, workshops, and events to inspire creativity and build community. ARTISTS:
North Tahoe Arts (NTA) continues to spotlight the talented pool of local artists and occasionally visiting artists, for monthly exhibits. NTA hosts a variety of programs, exhibits, and activities thanks to a healthy corps of volunteers COMMUNITY:
The end of year Fund Raiser brought in $5600 for North Tahoe Arts. Thank you to our wonderful community of members and friends. 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.

Can’t make it to Palisades for Made in Tahoe? Well, we have tons of local art right here in Kings Beach, and the gallery is open late Saturday until 7 pm.

On this autumn evening, we recognize the longtime contributions of our Incline Village friend and photographer, Geoff McGilvray, whose gorgeous images grace the walls of fine homes and both of our galleries.

🏋️ Geoff has been a part of North Tahoe Arts not only as an artist, but as a significant contributor to our operations and a former board of directors member. We love Geoff! Who saves the day when we need extra snow shoveling? Who helps us communicate with the officials on our Tahoe City building renovation? Who steps up when we need a handyman?

📷 Check out one of Geoff’s many phenomenal photographs above.

🙏 If you want to thank Geoff for all he does and recognize his artwork, PLEASE stop by the Kings Beach gallery Saturday evening between 4 and 7 pm.
Furthermore, our patron saint of the Kings Beach Art Center, building owner, board president emeritus, and all around fabulously funky artist JANE JENNY will be assisting with setup for the event.

🍷 Want to chat with Jane and Geoff, get a head start on your holiday shopping, or just have a glass of w**e and a snack on a Saturday evening? We sincerely hope you can drop by.

Thank you for being a supporter and a part of our local art community!

This Saturday we’re bringing back our Meet The Artists event at Kings Beach from 4-7pm featuring our long time gallery artist Geoff McGilvray

Meet Geoff McGilvray

We’re excited to introduce you to Geoff McGilvray, an award winning landscape and nature photographer based in Incline Village.

Geoff has called the Lake Tahoe Basin home since 1975, capturing the ever-changing moods, light, and beauty of Tahoe and the surrounding High Sierra. His love for the natural world has also taken him around the globe, from the American Southwest and Hawaii to New Zealand, Australia, Scotland, France, Spain, and Portugal.

Through his photography, Geoff invites us to slow down, take in the landscape, and see the beauty of the natural world through his lens.

Come meet Geoff, explore his work, and connect with our artist community at our upcoming Meet the Artists gathering!

Saturday, October 10 | 4–7 PM
North Tahoe Arts Gallery
Come say hello, ask questions, and discover the artists behind the work.

Stay tuned for more artist introductions!
