On the second weekend in June, Art on the Lake returns to Excelsior’s Commons Park at the end of picturesque Water Street. The fest includes fine art from a bevy of local and regional artists, who are selected by a jury process, in a wide variety of mediums—painting, ceramics, jewelry, glass, sculpture, textiles, wood and more. Film and filmmakers will also be part of the event this year as Art on the Lake welcomes its nonprofit arts partner FilmNorth. Organizers says FilmNorth’s mission is to “empower artists to tell their stories, launch and sustain successful careers, and advance The North [region] as a leader in the national network of independent filmmakers.” Take a stroll through the park, choose a new piece of art to take home and chat with the artist, and then visit one of Water Street’s charming restaurants, boutiques or galleries to extend the fun.
