Celebrating 30 Years
The Les Cheneaux Arts Council (LCAC) was founded in 1993 by a group of local artists and friends, dedicated to promotion, education and participation in the Arts in the Les Cheneaux Community. LCAC is a member of the Les Cheneaux Community Foundation. We offer a variety of classes and workshops throughout the summer and provide scholarships to local artists.

Frog Fest 2023 - Face Painting
|
Arts Council volunteers donate their time and talents each year by offering face painting to the attendees of the annual Frog Fest Festival. This outdoor event is put on by the Les Cheneaux Watershed Council. The event is free to the public and offers science exhibits, live specimens, games and much more! This year we had a large crowd of kiddos line up, wait patiently and picked the design they wanted painted. We look forward to seeing their excitement and can't wait till next year! |
