Celebrate Local Art at the 2026 Cool Arts Show

Mark your calendars for a vibrant afternoon of local art and music! The Lakeway Arts Committee is thrilled to host its annual Cool Arts Show on Saturday, August 22nd, from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM at the Lakeway Activity Center, located at 105 Cross Creek. Admission is free, making it the perfect weekend outing for art lovers and families alike.

Visitors can browse and shop a beautiful selection of unique creations from talented local artists, including paintings, jewelry, and pottery. It is a family-friendly event, featuring fun children’s activities like face painting and hands-on art projects. To set the perfect mood, Austin-based acoustic singer, songwriter, and guitarist Rich Stolp will take the stage to perform. Musically refined in San Francisco’s vibrant music scene, Rich delivers an engaging, crowd-pleasing blend of pop, rock, folk, and country that feels both wonderfully familiar and refreshingly original.

If you are looking for the traditional Studio Tours, please note that they have officially joined the upcoming Lakeway Art Walk happening this fall. Stay tuned for more details on that event soon!
