On May 2, the Lakes Region Art Association is hosting its grand opening at their new and larger gallery in the Tanger Outlets, Suite, 120 Laconia Road, Tilton, from 2 to 5 p.m. To ensure it’ll be a memorable event, the LRAA Gallery will join with Lake Region area florists and garden centers who have created large and beautiful displays of flowers and plants, juxtaposed with 100’s of LRAA artists’ fine art paintings and photography.

“We’ve challenged the florists and garden centers to be creative with their artistic displays. The public will have a chance to vote for the best floral and/or plant display,” said LRAA/Gallery Marketing Director Pat Edsall. “It’ll be fabulous, I guarantee it.”

Throughout the festival, the public will be treated to complimentary wine and cheese, fruit punch, homemade cookies, hors d’oeuvres and pastries. Festive music will fill the gallery by “The Saxman” Dom DiNardo.

Fundraising raffle tickets can be purchased at the gallery. Prizes include donations by local businesses as well as items donated by LRAA member artists. Since 1920, the Lakes Region Art Association has been in continuous operation with its stated goal of supporting artists and the arts.
