The Lake Wales Arts Council, Inc. and City of Lake Wales began offering this quarterly juried art show in 2004. It provides an excellent venue for local artists to show their work and compete for ribbon prizes in several categories along with a Best of Show award. The show also provides the Municipal Building with a quality fine art display for the enjoyment of all of the visitors and staff. Many of the pieces on exhibit are for sale by the artists at very reasonable prices. The Show has continued to grow over the years with more than 100 artists participating in one or more shows.
