The Trout Lake Arts Council is a nonprofit organization that has supported the arts in the greater Trout Lake community for nearly 30 years. We raise funds to support art programs, offer local artist pop-ups, and host events that celebrate and promote art and creativity in our community.
Road to Trout Lake
An Artist Tour 2026
This year, TLAC is excited to host an inaugural new event — the Road to Trout Lake, An Artist Tour
Enjoy a fall drive along the White Salmon River to Trout Lake. Your favorite local artists invite you to visit their studios. Have lunch along the way, follow the country road around the valley, stop for the group show at the Trout Lake Grange, and maybe end with dinner and music at the historic Trout Lake Hall.
The route features 9 open studios, showcasing 15 artists, including metalwork, jewelry, oil and watercolor painting, and glasswork.
Bring a friend and enjoy a visit to the beautiful Trout Lake Valley.

What does TLAC do?
FUNDRAISING EVENTS
Typically an annual fundraising event is held if there is something in the community we are being called to support in funding. In 2024 we raised money for the TL School to fund a music project.
We organize and offer regular annual local Pop up gallery’s where you can feature, sell and buy local art. Come sell your art, buy some and connect with your community of artist. The next event is coming in April 2025.
POP UP ART SHOWS
Each February, we host a cozy gathering to celebrate local writers and their work. Join us to hear excerpts from books and projects, meet the authors, and enjoy tea, cookies, and heartfelt stories and poetry.
WRITERS FROM THE VALLEY
Your donations support growing the arts in our community.
