The Almanor Arts Show celebrates its 51st Anniversary on Saturday & Sunday August 1st and 2nd on the Collins Pine Lawn in Chester CA.

The show was first hosted on the shores of Lake Almanor in 1969 by a group of Almanor Basin resident artists. The Almanor Arts Show was gifted to Plumas Arts in the early 1980s when the artists that had managed the show since 1969 felt it was appropriate to transfer show management to the countys new local art agency which had been established in 1981.

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 current home upon the glorious cool and green Collins Pine Lawn with its majestic trees.
In the last three decades Plumas Arts has grown this event into one of the most respected art shows in the region. The show now brings thousands of people into the Almanor Basin filling motel rooms, restaurants and businesses over the weekend.

Many artists return to this location year after year from all around the Western US. Plumas Arts also appreciates that each year brings new talented artists into the fold. Painters, printmakers and photographers are a featured part of the show. You will also find unique and wonderful pottery, woodwork, fabric arts, jewelry, metal work, furniture and even artisan foods.
