See the Big Bear Lake Village venue transformed into an outdoor gallery, with over 60 artists displaying their original works in the Bartlett Events Center. The award-winning art represents a wide array of mediums including painting, drawing, jewelry, clay, wood, metal, fiber, glass, pottery and mixed media. In addition to an incredible selection of fine art for purchase, The Big Bear Lake Artwalk Festival offers three days of fun for the entire family, featuring children’s activities, live music, food and culinary offerings, plus a community art project that encourages everyone to be “a part of the art”.
“We are looking forward to sharing the inspiration and wonder of the visual and performing arts with thousands of guests during our three-day festival,” said Tim Breunig, Festival Director. “Proceeds from the festival benefit the community and education outreach programs of The Arts Council of Big Bear Valley and Big Bear Lake Arts, producer of The Big Bear Lake Artwalk Festival. The Council’s mission is to provide regional cultural and educational enrichment opportunities that encourage, support and promote the performing and visual arts locally.”
Half a dozen local and regional musical artists will perform on the Main Stage in the Beer and Wine Garden during the festival. Performances range from Indie Americana/Folk, Singer/Songwriters to New Age Country and Jazz.
