Call for Artists – Road to Trout Lake Studio Tour 2026
The Trout Lake Arts Council is inviting local artists to participate in the upcoming Trout Lake Studio Tour event!
The Trout Lake Arts Council (TLAC) has organized festivals, pop-up galleries, and educational opportunities for nearly 30 years. This year, TLAC is excited to host the Road to Trout Lake Studio Tour — an opportunity for residents and visitors to meet artists in their rural studios while enjoying the beauty of the White Salmon River, Mt. Adams, Mt. Hood, and the Trout Lake Valley’s forests, farms, and open spaces.

Sunday, September 27, 10 AM – 4 PM
Eligibility
Artists living within a few miles of Hwy 141 or in the Trout Lake Valley are invited to apply.
