The highly anticipated Lakeshore Art Trail will be returning to the Small Arms Inspection Building for a third year in a row. The Trail had historically featured local visual artists exhibiting their artworks out of their studios or local businesses located throughout the scenic Mississauga villages of Clarkson, Port Credit and Lorne Park. While the art show has changed its venue in recent years, it remains true to the spirit of the show.
The jury is composed of one Lakeshore Art Trail Executive member and two independent artists, who are not affiliated with the show.
