Join us for wine, hors-d'oeuvres, friendship & fine art! Charity to benefit Blue Jay Jazz Foundation
FIRST FRIDAYS begin again on the 4th of July weekend! Join us for a casual Art Open House from 4 - 7 pm. Meet our Featured Artists and enjoy the extensive display of their art for the evening. Enjoy beverages and light food, while mingling with friends and other art lovers.
Each event benefits a deserving Local Charity or Foundation, as the recipient of 10% of all sales during the event. Check the Schedule of Artists for a list of Artists we’re featuring this Season and the Charity featured for each event. We look forward to seeing you here at THE LAKE HOUSE for First Fridays, where you can enjoy an evening of Friendship and Fine Art all while supporting a great cause.
Having taught secondary Art for 34 years in the local Rim School District, Dave’s personal journey in art really began with a visit to Santa Fe two decades ago discovering the versatility of pastel, and a technique to apply pastel over watercolor.
He loves the light of New Mexico, the hills of Tuscany, the coast of France, as well as the woods and meadows of Lake Arrowhead and New England. Working from personal photographs, the warm months in Lake Arrowhead and a shaded table on the deck, provides the perfect “outdoor studio”.
