Arts and Culture

Arts & Culture

While many come to Lake Chelan for rejuvenation, many also come for inspiration. That's why we're lucky to boast a thriving community of artists and creative individuals using the lake and valley as their muse. Take a walk in downtown Chelan or Manson, and our commitment to the arts jumps out at you. Enjoy the lovingly created statues in downtown Chelan. Marvel at the jaw-dropping beauty of original paintings in our local galleries. See the influence of the lakeshore in the undulating curves of the pieces created by our artisan jewelers. Here's your chance to not only find your inspiration, but to take it home with you as well.
