Welcome to the website for the 
Lakeville Arts Council (LAC)
 
This site attempts to share with you our ongoing mission to encourage and support the arts as a vital part of our community.
  
The Arts allow us to become who we can be.  Imagine the world without music, dance, literature or art.  The  Lakeville Arts Council strives to support all forms of art within our community so everyone can experience the arts in it's many diverse forms.

The LAC accomplishes our mission through various programs through- out the year, i.e.: the Cultural Presentation Series presented at the Lakeville Library, a holiday season event named “Made In Lakeville”, Open Studio held periodically in late spring, and our major annual event in it’s eighth year the Lakeville Arts&Music Festival to be held on Saturday, September 29, 2012. Apps are ready. See Festival page.
 
Be sure to check each page of this website to learn when and where each event will take place in 2012.

The Cultural Presentation Series is held at our local library throughout the year.  Each fall the LAC award grants through the MCC to projects and programs presented by community members and/or by artists outside our community who come to share their talents as part of the Cultural Presentation Series.
 
ABOVE:  The 2012 Summer Reading Program theme for young adults ages 10 and older this summer at the Lakeville Public Library is "WE OWN THE NIGHT!"!  To celebrate this theme the Library will offer a series of workshops aimed at learning how the Moon, the Sun and the Solar System as a whole shape our days and nights.  This program will focus on astronomy education which utilizes numbers and arithmetic as something fun and not something to be feared.

The program will be conducted by Lakeville’s “SKY GUY” Mike Renzi of Starhoo Observatory in Lakeville.  
“Chair-ish Your Library” Fundraiser at the
Lakeville Public Library was a Success!
 
All thirty creatively decorated chairs, part of a Silent Auction, with all proceeds to benefit the Lakeville Library were on exhibit in the library's Great Ponds Gallery for the month of April.  Bids can be made on these chairs throughout the month.

The exhibit and Silent Auction closed on Thursday evening, April 26 during a Gala Reception.  
 

For 2012 there are six Cultural Presentations. Below is a brief description of each one program.  For times and dates check out the “Cultural Presentation Page”.
