Artists-n-Cahoots Celebrates 10 Years
|
|
 Twelve years ago, Erin Rosson and Joyce Christman were on the front porch of Rosson's cottage drinking tea and
enjoying the soft breeze.
Between the small chats about life and art, a great idea was born. The pair wanted to open an art store, where they could display their art, as well as other artists' work.
Two years later, Rosson and Christman opened the doors of the small store in partnership with Lakeside near the
Lakeside Chautauqua Administration Office, called
Artists-n-Cahoots.
As the years passed, they received positive feedback from the Lakeside community.
Five years after opening Artists-n-Cahoots, the store moved to 222 Walnut Ave., along a main business street in
Lakeside. The new store presented an opportunity to increase the size of the showcase, as well as a more comfortable place for customers.

 Were you born between 1975-1990? Did your family visit Lakeside when you were a child?
Whether visiting for a few days, a week or the entire season, those Lakeside days were the best kind of summer - you met your best friends, played games in Central Park, went to the movies, rode your bike, swam in the lake and sunbathed on the dock.
Now, you continue to come back to Lakeside with your family because it feels like home.
As a special initiative this summer, Lakesiders born between 1975-1990 are invited to join the '75-'90 Lakeside Challenge.
By participating in the challenge, you are able to reconnect with others who visited during those summer days at the
lake.
