The 39th annual Art Under the Elms is a three-day arts festival presented by Lewis-Clark State College’s Center for Arts & History. This cherished community event benefits both the participating artists & LC State’s Center for Arts & History. The Center’s mission is to connect the campus, community, & world through experiences in arts, culture, & the humanities. All proceeds from the event support the Center’s programming through exhibitions, public programs, & arts education initiatives. Art Under the Elms also coincides with Lewis-Clark State College’s Family Weekend, which draws families & friends of current students as well as alumni to the college, & the event is free and open to the public.

In addition to showcasing 75 artisan vendors, Art Under the Elms features hands-on activities for children in the Children’s Art Tent, a variety of food vendors, pop-up art exhibits & outdoor art installations, a line-up of live music, dance, & theater performances, poetry & prose readings and film screenings. The event is hosted on LC State’s scenic campus in Lewiston, ID.
