The 86th Annual Members Exhibit at the Lakes Region Art Gallery is one of the region’s most anticipated fine art events of the year—bringing together a diverse collection of work from talented local artists in a professionally juried competition.

This exhibit represents a wide range of artistic expression, including oil, acrylic, watercolor, and pastel paintings, photography, drawing, and mixed media. Each piece has been thoughtfully created and carefully presented, offering visitors a rich and varied viewing experience. While the number of works varies each year, guests can typically expect to enjoy between 30 and 50 pieces of original fine art.

This is a juried competition, with awards including Best in Show, First Place, and Second Place, judged by professionals from outside the organization. This independent evaluation ensures a high standard of excellence and adds prestige to both the exhibit and its participating artists.

For collectors and art enthusiasts, this exhibit offers a unique opportunity to acquire original works from emerging and established regional artists. Most artwork is available for purchase. Collectors may secure a piece with a 50% deposit, with all sold works remaining on display through the close of the exhibit on August 31, 2026.
