The Lakeway Heritage Center will be open on Saturday, April 20th, from 1pm to 4pm to showcase their exhibit on the Art of Quilting.  Members of the Heritage Committee will be sharing the history and process of quilting in addition to the history of Lakeway. About the Art of Quilting Quilting, often thought of as a cozy craft, boasts a rich history that stretches far beyond bedspreads. For centuries, skilled artisans have been transforming fabric scraps into stunning works of art and treasured heirlooms. Early quilts served a practical purpose, providing warmth and insulation. Over time, intricate patterns and designs emerged, showcasing the artistic talents of the quilters. These quilts reflected not only the maker’s skill but also the cultural influences and stories of their communities.  

Lake Travis High School students showcase their artistic vision of Lakeway’s cultural treasures in this month’s exhibit. The Lake Travis Student Art Exhibition: “Voices of Lakeway” showcases the creativity and artistic skill of student artists. The exhibition is a selection of works produced by student artists during the 2023-2024 school year. Throughout the school year, some of these students have been asked to create work responding to a prompt of self reflection, some created their works with the purpose of participating in a scholastic art competition, and others created works outside of their school classrooms.  Experience Lakeway through the students’ eyes at their exhibition throughout April. Meet the student artists at the reception on Saturday, April 20th, 2-4 pm at the Lake Travis Community Library.
