  1. Our two-day LCS Art Fair is the last (and largest) art show of this high season. This annual event will be held in the gardens of the Lake Chapala Society (16 de septiembre #16A in Ajijic) on Friday and Saturday, March 8 & 9 from 10am to 3pm. Our Art Shows for the next high season will resume in October 2024. There will be over 70 artists and artisans. Admission is free, and you'll find ample parking on the lake front. Any profit from the participation fee paid by the artists will benefit our community outreach programs. Our LCS art shows feature local art and handicrafts, and are not restricted to members of any specific art groups. We provide a much-needed sales venue for Mexican artisans and artists who do not normally have access to such opportunities. In addition, these shows provide a sales platform for the LCS Children’s Art Program to sell original art plus their famous art cards featuring the kid's artwork. This is an important revenue source for the youngsters and their families. Come on out and support children's art, local art, and handicrafts while enjoying a delightful day in our gardens and grounds. You can also take a break in our café for a snack, cold drink, or a meal, and we have an on-site ATM for your convenience. Don't miss this final garden art event!
  2. A beautifully framed and matted original watercolour by Ricardo Sánchez Corona has been donated by the artist as a raffle prize to benefit the LCS Children's Art Program. This work is titled, “La Vuelta del Jefe (sobre ejidos de Anenecuilco).” It is framed in a modern black art frame with a white mat, and the size of the painting (including frame) is 67x85cm (26" x 33"). This masterpiece is valued at $30,000 pesos!

You can see a reproduction of this painting on display at LCS near where the raffle tickets are being sold . Raffle tickets are on sale at LCS inside the main entrance.

  9. Good Morning! My partner and I are new to the area - We came from New York and rented a little spot in near Ajijic. We are still getting our feet wet here with the vibe and various happenings! We are both artists -- I'm an illustrator, mainly for Children's Literature and he is a songwriter/musician/producer. We actually wanted to get involved with the creative community here (that I know you have board for!), but we had two questions: - My partner is looking to give lessons in piano and/or songwriting (any style; he's got a huge background in rock and jazz) and wanted to know the best way to go about it or where there would be interest? -We are also looking to get an actual piano at some point (we couldn't bring ours down) - so any thoughts on where we can look? Anyway, really glad to be here and looking forward to speaking with you all!
