City Hall Art Crawl

Deb — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 17:08:50 +0000

Have you been to The Art Crawl yet this summer? Time’s running short with only 3 Saturday mornings left to go. Whether you’re an artisan or simply want to shop and take in the creative expertise of local artists, this is a great spot to visit on Saturday mornings.

Owen Sound’s open air art market. Every Saturday morning in the Percy England Parkette … right beside City Hall.

The Art Crawl is running for the next 3 Saturdays until Labour Day. It runs from 8am to generally noon. Weather permitting. Some people do have tents and are more all weather vendors.

Want to be a vendor? All work must be original, handcrafted work by you.

This year there is no advanced registration or cost. You just come, and set up on the day.

You must supply your own stands/tables/display.

For more information please contact Cheryl Sims 519-370-2080 or email cheryl_sims@hotmail.com
