Making Art Happen!

Welcome! Art of the Lakes (AOTL) in Battle Lake, has been a top cultural attraction of the lakes region in West-Central Minnesota for over 50 years. Since 1967, AOTL has used the arts to celebrate and uplift local artists while fostering community cohesion, economic opportunities, civic engagement, cultural identity and tourism.

Art of the Lakes Gallery is located in the heart of downtown Battle Lake, Minnesota, and showcases the work of over 100 regional artists.

Our Creative Arts Community meets in multiple locations throughout Battle Lake and the surrounding area for artistic classes, gatherings and events. 
​

​We're always looking for new people interested in helping us pursue our creative mission. Throughout the year, we host a number of events and activities that highlight the talents of our member artists and provide a place where everyone—young and old—can experience the power of creativity.
