Hello from LOLA Arts!


What a weekend! That sure was a few fun days of summer heat smack dab in the middle of last winter/early spring, eh? I hope April snow showers bring as many flowers in May too. But the taste of temperatures in the 70’s was beyond exciting (and rejuvenating!)

Summer is knocking on our doors and we are getting ready to answer it.

We are less than two months away from LOLA’s unofficial kick off to summer with some of our favorite Community Arts Events. LOLA Sound Garden 2023 will be in the middle of June, with four days of free pre-exhibit workshops and three days of the exhibit. If you made it last year, you’ll remember how unique an experience this immersive sound and art installation was. We will continue to build on this wonderful event. And speaking of things that only get bigger, we expect another year of record-breaking crowds at our Car Park Music Series concerts. Happening at the Snowflake, it’ll be ten weeks of concerts from regional musicians. The schedule is out and on the website, make sure to check it out below. And Make Music Day will be happening on the summer solstice, June 21st, filling the streets of Land O’ Lakes with music.

Start marking your calendars now for the events you won’t wanna miss!
