Garden of Earthly Delights and Objects of Desire

Art is not sustained by admiration alone. It endures because artists act.
Because we rise to the moment, take responsibility, and commit to the
growth and well-being of our communities. In times of change, it is the
artists who push boundaries, imagine new paths, and shape the culture of
the future.

As spring fills the air, we’re excited to welcome you to our latest
exhibition: Garden of Earthly Delights and Objects of Desire — a vibrant
showcase of beautiful artwork, objects of desire, and a community coming
together to build a creative future.

At Lake Country Art Gallery, we believe in growing together — toward a
shared vision of a thriving, inclusive community that champions the arts.
This exhibition also serves as a fundraiser: every purchase directly
supports our efforts to keep these spaces open, vibrant, relevant, and
guided by artist-led voices.

If you believe in the role of public art galleries — in their power, their
necessity, and their ability to connect and inspire — now is the time to
stand with us.

Join us on Saturday, May 3rd at 1PM for the opening of Garden of Earthly
Delights and Objects of Desire. All art will be available for purchase.

Join us on Saturday, May 10th for Dining Artfully — an exquisite dining
experience that blends culinary delights with the beauty of art. Enjoy a
delicious meal surrounded by creativity, with live music, aerial
performances, spoken word poetry, and a live art auction. Bring your
friends and your curiosity — and be part of something beautiful. Get your
tickets: HERE <https://www.showpass.com/dining-artfully-2/> (
