friends and enjoy a beautiful
summer day.
The show was first hosted
on the shores of Lake
Almanor in 1969 by a group of
Almanor Basin resident
artists. When Plumas Arts
was formed in the early 1980s
one of the organization's very
first projects was to take over
the administration of this
art show, at the request of
the artists who had been
coordinating it. When the
Almanor Art Show outgrew
its original home on the
lakeshore, it was hosted for
two years adjacent to the
Collins Pine lawn. In 1988,
with the support of the
Collins Pine management,
Caltrans and local law
enforcement officials, the
show moved to its permanent
home on the Collins Pine
Lawn.

Confused about which arts
and crafts show to attend this
summer? If in doubt, make
sure to attend the Almanor
Art Show and enjoy one of
the best annual events that
Plumas County has to offer.
Plumas Arts hosts the 42nd
anniversary Almanor Art
Show Aug. 6 - 7 on the
magnificent and cool green
Collins Pine lawn on High-
way 36 in Chester.
This fine arts and crafts
show features the work of
professional artists from
northern California, Oregon
and Nevada and offers dozens
of booths brimming with
original, artful, interesting
and sometimes unusual mer-
chandise. Admission to the
showis free'and hdurs are 10
a.m. - 5 p.m. on Saturday and
10 a.m. - 4 p.m. on Sunday.
Plumas Arts has long
worked to maintain the
excellent reputation of the
Almanor Art Show. The show
has long ranked as one of the
most respected exhibitions of
fine arts and crafts in profes-
sional trade publications,
. among artists and by the
hundreds of visitors who
have planned their annual
vacations and visits to this
annual art show for the last
four decades.
The Almanor Art Show is a
juried show, meaning that
artists who want to partici-
pate must meet specific
quality guidelines for their
work and craftsmanship.
This ensures that high
quality and unique original
art and crafts are available in
a full range of prices. The
show offers a variety of fine
arts and crafts, including
paintings, drawings, sculp-
ture, pottery, photography,
stained glass, clothing, metal
work, jewelry, furniture,
country crafts and more.
The Almanor Art Show is
unique in many ways. It is
one of very few art shows
hosted in the county that is
produced by a local nonprofit
organization. Private, out-
of-area promoters produce
several other Plumas County
summer art shows. Not this
one. Any revenues generated
at the Almanor Art Show are
reinvested in the county, and
local businesses, by Plumas
Arts. So patronage of this
event supports local arts pro-
grams as well as the fine
artists who are producing
such extraordinary art work.
The over .all goal of the show
is to showcase original art
and the artists who created it
in a pleasant space. Plumas
Arts does not cram in as
many booths as possible into
too small a space. The Collins
Pine lawn provides ampl e
space between booths and
plenty of space to sit in
the shade with family and
