The Lakeshore Art Trail Celebrates its 25th Anniversary this October

The Lakeshore Art Trail (LAT) is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a ticketed Gala evening on Friday, October 16, which will kick off the weekend’s art show and sale.

For over 25 years, the Lakeshore Art Trail has strengthened the local arts scene, supported artists at all stages of their careers, and created meaningful opportunities for the community to experience and celebrate the visual arts. LAT has become the largest fine art show and sale in Mississauga with 40 exhibiting artists, and has its sights set on growing over the next few years to bring a show of the same size and calibre as Toronto and other GTA arts events to Mississauga.

Dates & Times

Friday, October 16 | 6:30–9:00PM: Gala Event

Saturday, October 17 | 10:00AM–5:00PM: Art Show & Sale

Sunday, October 18 | 10:00AM–4:00PM: Art Show & Sale

Weekend Art Show & Sale – Free

Location

Small Arms Inspection Building

1352 Lakeshore Road East

Mississauga, ON L5E 1E9

The excitement surrounding the 25th anniversary is building among the group. “I am so proud of the work that the Executive Committee is putting in to make this landmark year the best Lakeshore Art Trail yet, not to mention the finest art show Mississauga has seen,” said Celina Melo, Chairperson of LAT.

The group’s first-ever gala will welcome special guests such as dignitaries and community members, alongside a silent auction, draws, licensed drinks, hors d’oeuvres, exclusive early viewing of the art show with artist meet-and-greets, and live music by Mississauga band Streetfire and Jazz vocalist Alyssa Michael. Tickets may be purchased through EventBrite. No tickets will be sold at the door. Tickets include one drink ticket. Additional drinks are available for purchase.

The FREE weekend Art Show & Sale will follow on Saturday, October 17 (10:00AM–5:00PM) and Sunday, October 18 (10:00AM–4:00PM) with 40+ artists exhibiting their artwork at the Small Arms Inspection Building, 1352 Lakeshore Road East, Mississauga. The location offers free parking and is wheelchair accessible.

The lively art show and sale features 40 artist booths, including two sponsored booths for emerging artists with special needs, and a separate Youth Arts display sponsored by DPSU. LAT distinguishes itself from other art events in Mississauga as it strictly focuses on fine art (painting, photography, sculpture, mixed media). A full list of participating artists (with their bios, photos of their work, and links to their individual websites) is available at lakeshorearttrail.com.

Saturday programming will include free drop-in artist workshops, live music, and a community craft table, while the Sunday art show & sale will be alongside the Lakeview Farmers Market.

“It brings me such fulfillment to hear year after year from artists who tell us that this is ‘By far the best indoor venue [they] have exhibited in’ and that they see the work we put in to maintain our roots as ‘An art show with heart that celebrates community’,” said Melo. “With strong support from our local leaders at all levels of government, CreativeHub 1352, Mississauga Arts Council, Mississauga Community Foundations grant, and sponsorship by local community businesses, LAT is truly a community venture.”

About the Lakeshore Art Trail

The Lakeshore Art Trail is organized by an artist-run Executive Committee. In the past, participating artists showcased their creations out of their studios or local businesses across Clarkson, Port Credit, and Lorne Park. In 2022, the event changed its location to the Small Arms Inspection Building in partnership with CreativeHub 1352 for the first time, bringing together all 24 artists to display and sell their work under one roof. At the time, exhibiting artist Wendy Bowe said, “I’m really looking forward to this year, because visitors will get to see all of the artists assembled in one space.” The show did not disappoint, bringing in over 2,000 visitors that first year. With each year, the show continues to grow and we currently expect to welcome over 4,000 visitors throughout the weekend event.

New Peel Regional Police 14 Division Coming to Lakeview Village

By Announcement, Ward 1

Major Investment in Public Safety Will Bring Approximately 600 Officers to South Mississauga

MISSISSAUGA, ON – Councillor Stephen Dasko is pleased to announce that today the Region of Peel has successfully finalized the acquisition of land for a new Peel Regional Police division to be located in Lakeview Village, marking a significant milestone for public safety in Mississauga’s southeast community.

Division 14 will bring approximately 600 police officers and support personnel to the area, significantly increasing police presence and enhancing public safety for residents throughout Ward 1 and surrounding communities.

For several years, Councillor Dasko has been working collaboratively with staff from the Region of Peel, Peel Regional Police, and Lakeview Village representatives to help bring this important project to fruition.

“Public safety continues to be one of the top priorities I hear about from residents,” said Councillor Stephen Dasko. “Listening to our community, I have consistently advocated for increased police presence in our area. This new division is a major investment in the safety and well-being of our residents.”

The future division will be strategically located within Lakeview Village, one of Canada’s most innovative redevelopment projects. By locating the new division within this growing community, the project combines innovation, community building, and public safety, creating a stronger foundation for the future of Mississauga’s waterfront.

“This announcement will demonstrate what can be achieved when partners work together toward a common goal,” added Dasko. “Bringing a Peel Regional Police division to Lakeview Village will not only strengthen public safety but also support the existing neighbourhoods and the continued growth and success of the community.”

Additional details regarding the division, including timelines and future planning milestones, will be shared as they become available.

Residents are encouraged to stay tuned for a formal announcement and further details to follow.

Growing food, whether in a backyard, on a balcony, or in a community garden, brings people together and helps make our city greener and more resilient to the impacts of climate change. The City of Mississauga supports urban agriculture by helping residents access fresh local food and creating more opportunities to learn and share with one another.

To celebrate urban agriculture and the end of the growing season, we invite residents to join us at the Small Arms Inspection Building for an evening of learning, connection and local food. The event includes:

  • A presentation by artist Diane Borsato about her public artwork, ORCHARD, which celebrates Mississauga’s apple history. Diane will share the story of the orchard and offer a tasting of different apple varieties to celebrate the fall harvest.
  • A hands-on demonstration in partnership with the Mississauga Seed Library, where you can learn how to save seeds for future gardens.
  • An opportunity to speak with City staff about local gardening programs, resources and ways to get involved.
