The Legacy of the Lakes Museum is pleased to announce the 6th Annual Paddle Art Contest! We’re inviting community members to paint, carve, burn, or sculpt paddles into works of art. They will be displayed at the museum in a special exhibition opening May 22, 2026.-There are two age categories, Adult (16 & Up) and Youth (15 & Under).
-The museum provides the paddles, which will be available for pick up at the museum starting in January. An email will be sent to artists when they become available. Artists can choose to use their own paddle as well.
-Registration deadline is March 27. The deadline for completed paddles to be returned to the museum is May 8.
-Artists have the option of donating their paddle to the museum after the exhibition as part of a fundraising auction, with proceeds benefitting the museum.
-Awards will be given out at an Artist’s Reception on August 27. We will have 6 awards this year: People's Choice-Adult & Youth, Juror's Choice Adult & Youth, Most Creative Use of Paddle, and Best Spirit of the Lakes
Registration is $20 or $15 for museum members and past artists. Register in person at the museum (205 3rd Ave W | Alexandria, MN | Door #3) or online here: https://legacyofthelakes.org/paddle/. Paddles will be available for pick up soon.
