TAL hosting art exhibit at LTCC

Participants in El Dorado County Wellness Center programs will have a chance to show off their artistic skills in the Each Mind Matters art exhibit hosted by the Tahoe Art League.

The exhibit will take place at Lake Tahoe Community College from April 30-May 4, in recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month.

The art that will be on display has been created through Art Angels, a program of the Tahoe Art League. Each week Charisse Sotto, a volunteer with the Art League, teaches Wellness Center participants various techniques in artistic expression. Funded by the South Lake Tahoe Endowment, a fund of the El Dorado Community Foundation, together with the Art League, the program develops artistic skills, and allows participants to focus on a positive, creative process that builds confidence and pride in their accomplishments.

Lake Tahoe Community College Art Director Phyllis Shafer will be the jurist.

An artists’ reception and awards ceremony will be April 30 from 6-8pm in the commons area of the college.
