TILTON ― Tired of the endless gray skies, snow, and sub-freezing temps that define February in the Lakes Region? The Lakes Region Art Association has the perfect antidote: “Art in the Garden ― Carved & Cultivated,” a vibrant group exhibition bursting with the colors, textures, and life of gardens and nature’s beauty.
Featuring original works from talented local artists, the show runs Feb. 19 through March 15, at the Lakes Region Art Gallery in Tanger Outlets, 120 Laconia Road, Suite 300, Tilton, NH.
This uplifting collection transports visitors from winter’s grip straight into lush, sculpted gardens — think carved elegance, blooming abundance, textured landscapes, and serene organic forms brought to life through pastels, watercolors, mixed media, and more. It’s an early glimpse of spring’s promise, right when New Hampshire needs it most, celebrating the creative spirit of our community and the enduring allure of cultivated beauty.
A lively opening reception welcomes everyone on Friday, Feb. 20, from 4 to 6 p.m. Meet the artists, sip and mingle, enjoy light refreshments, and soak in the garden-fresh inspiration in a warm, friendly setting.
Adding extra fun to the evening, a Reverse Paint and Sip ― “Forest Stillness” runs concurrently from 5 to 7 p.m. in the gallery. No experience required —guided instruction helps create a own tranquil forest scene while guests unwind (supplies included; register ahead via the gallery website).
The Lakes Region Art Gallery continues its long tradition (rooted in the 1940s as the Laconia Art Association) as a welcoming hub for local creativity, with rotating shows of original art in diverse media. Open Thursdays through Sundays — check lakesregionartgallery.org for current hours and details.
