As Arts Whistler executive director Mo Douglas told Pique last week, she had "never seen [as] many dogs on paddleboards,” as she did during last year's Art on the Lake.
So, for the event's 2022 iteration, the team at Arts Whistler decided to accommodate those water dogs with a doggy dock and their very own event. Last Friday's WAG.Woof.Water dog jump contest was a hit for canines and humans alike, with Epic PhoDography on hand to capture all the fun.
There was plenty of other entertainment to be found on Alta Lake over Aug. 11 and 12, with a floating art gallery showcasing more than 30 Sea to Sky artists, 12 local bands, nine artists live painting, dance performances and more. The event—which started as a way for Arts Whistler to host a safe, distanced, outdoor event during the height of the pandemic in summer 2020—drew hundreds of eager paddlers (and a few floaters) to Alta Lake for its third year, and has evidently become a much-loved summer staple for the resort.
