June 22 – En Plein Air Art Market
Step into the vibrant world of creativity at the En Plein Air Art Market—a day-long celebration of local artistry amidst the scenic backdrop of outdoor painting and live music. With a maximum of 20 local vendors showcasing their original works, immerse yourself in a diverse array of artistic expressions, from stunning paintings and intricate jewelry to exquisite ceramics, fashion, and beyond. Meet the talented artists, peruse their creations, and take home a unique piece to adorn your life. Join us for a captivating fusion of art, music, and community, where creativity knows no bounds and inspiration flourishes in the open air.
The market also features the popular En Plein Air painting event. The event originally run by Kelly Holinshead of the Shutterbug Gallery, invites artists and area dignitaries to grab an easel and some paint before choosing an outdoor location downtown to inspire their creations. A few hours later, participants have to put down their brushes. The paintings are then given a bit of drying time before they are auctioned off to the public at 4pm, with proceeds going towards the Kareen Burn Visual Arts Scholarship supporting a local student studying visual arts related studies in a post secondary institution or program.
