Taking place each fall, the Lakeshore Art Trail showcases the best in painting, photography and mixed media.Lakeshore Art Trail is more than an art event — it is a meaningful celebration of creativity, inclusion, and community. The Trail partners with Creative Hub1352 to showcase talented artists selected through a jurying process while remaining deeply committed to supporting artists of all abilities and backgrounds. The jury is composed of one Lakeshore Art Trail Executive member and two independent artists, who are not affiliated with the show.Each year, Lakeshore Art Trail sponsors two special booths selected through a separate jurying process, creating additional opportunities for artists with special needs to participate and share their work with the public. The artwork displayed in these booths is created and set up by the artists themselves, giving them the opportunity to showcase their talents in a supportive and welcoming environment.Lakeshore Art Trail is also proud to continue their relationship with Options Mississauga and Pixie Blue this each year. Both organizations do incredible work creating opportunities for people with disabilities and special needs to actively participate in and contribute to the community through art and creative expression.We look forward to welcoming all our returning and new art patrons alike." } ] } ] ```
