Beautiful things in a beautiful place...
THE ALMANOR ART SHOW Saturday, August 1, 10am - 5pm Sunday, August 2, 10am - 4pm at the Collins Pine Lawn in Chester The Almanor Arts Show celebrates its 51st Anniversary on Saturday & Sunday August 1st and 2nd on the Collins Pine Lawn in Chester CA.
The show was first hosted on the shores of Lake Almanor in 1969 by a group of Almanor Basin resident artists. The Almanor Arts Show was “gifted” to Plumas Arts in the early 1980’s when the artists that had managed the show since 1969 felt it was appropriate to transfer show management to the county’s new local art agency which had been established in 1981. When the Almanor Art Show outgrew its original home on the lakeshore, it was hosted for two years adjacent to the Collins Pine Lawn. In 1988, with the support of the Collins Pine management, Caltrans and local law enforcement officials the show moved to its current home upon the glorious cool and green Collins Pine Lawn with its majestic trees. |
In the last three decades Plumas Arts has grown this event into one of the most respected art shows in the region. The show now brings thousands of people into the Almanor Basin filling motel rooms, restaurants and businesses over the weekend.

They pull from the traditional legacy of their historical predecessors, and their own original work, plus a great reservoir of contemporary writers’ material to create a special version of acoustic American string band music, one that appeals to many listeners, regardless of age or general musical preferences.
