Our Mission
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.

Our Story
The Trail, first established in 1999, 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. The highly anticipated Lakeshore Art Trail will be returning to the Small Arms Inspection Building. While the art show has changed its venue in recent years, it remains true to the spirit of the show.
The Executive Committee is a cooperative of participating artists who organize the event through volunteer tasks and procured sponsorship advertisements.
