Second Saturday Art Walk: August 9th

Second Saturday Art Walk Events - August, 2008

The art attracts the scene. And vice versa. Our town's thriving art walk is attracting important artists from all over the world as well as struggling and newly emerging ones. It also brings in viewers from around the region. Serious art lovers and those that are just getting their feet wet.
So let's revel in our final 2nd Saturday before things cool off, have fun and buy art.

See you there,
