Welcome to the Tahoe Art League

The Tahoe Art League is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting fine art and art education on the South Shore of Lake Tahoe since 1964.

We provide free monthly art demonstrations for the public, art workshops, classes, summer outdoor shows, fine art exhibits, college scholarships and many other activities.

Wild Encounters

On Wednesday, August 13, the Tahoe Art League will enjoy Wild Encounters!
Yes, this will definitely be a different sort of presentation. In addition to a very interesting photo demo we will learn of cultures as unlike ours as possible. This is an event that all should find fascinating.

They will show some of their most unusual photographs, like the ones of the cannibals, who they lived with in Irian Jaya Papua New Guinea, Indonesia. Bill tells how "We flew into an abandoned missionary airfield in the rainforest with a group of about eight people and lived with a clan of the Koroai people. They’re actually stone age people, they still have stone axes and they do everything as man did a thousand years ago. Some of them live in tree houses hundreds of feet off the ground. They are extremely warlike people; they fight one another to the death on a constant basis defending their territory, wives and food source the sago palm. They kill their enemies and they will consume a little bit of the flesh of the dead person to consume the spirit so the spirit cannot harm them. In the Irian Jaya, the environment was so inhospitable, we were very cautious of what we ate, drank and the clothes we wore."
