The Lakeway Painters
Many years ago, after an inspiring watercolor class by Johnnie Fields, a well-known Lakeway artist, a group of his students enthusiastically established The Lakeway Painters which continues to grow and thrive today. Each Wednesday, The Lakeway Painters’ club gets together to paint in a supportive environment and have a friendly critique of their members’ art. Bring your artwork and supplies and meet others who like to express creatively with watercolors, acrylics, collages and more. The Lakeway Painters meet every Wednesday from 9:30 am-11:30 am. They also have an annual art sale each fall. Lakeway Activity Center membership is required to participate. If interested, email Anna Thiele at fallingintoart@yahoo.com.

Regardless of what happens to the Lakeway Arts District proposal, we could still have an Arts District community here in Lakeway…online! If you are an artist and would be interested in having a free webpage showcasing your art on our Arts District website, please use the contact form and let us know. These pages will only be free for a limited time, so act soon and reserve yours. In the future, we will be adding a robust Arts Calendar to the site as well.
