A renaissance of sorts is being celebrated at Ski Run Marina this weekend.

Ski Run Marina Art Galleries are bringing an eclectic collection of art to the South Shore.

This area in the center of South Lake Tahoe is billing itself as the heart of the South Shore. It now features exclusive galleries, a community art gallery, interactive art, guest art shows, Wednesday evening wine tasting and more community events in the future.

The grand opening May 7 includes an art show by South Tahoe and Whittell high school students. A silent auction and raffle hosted by the Ski Run Marina Merchants will benefit the art departments at both schools.

Music students from South Tahoe High will perform Saturday afternoon.

There will be interactive art demonstrations in the courtyard, face painting for the kids and complementary hors d’oeuvres in the galleries.

The festivities will carry over into Mother’s Day.
