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 and its capacity to foster community cohesion, provide economic opportunities, promote civic engagement, and enhance cultural identity and tourism.
Our Creative Arts Center on Main Street provides much needed space for a variety of endeavors including rooms for classes, meetings, cooking, working, and creating; as well as open areas for dancing, exercising, performing, and socializing—the possibilities are countless. There are spaces for hosting large functions as well as intimate gatherings for purposes to inform, educate and to entertain. We're always looking for new faces interested in helping us bring this dream to life. 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. |
