Wow! Where did the summer go! I love fall don't get me wrong. My favorite time of year is fall, but the artwalk is coming up and there is so many more items to check off the list.

On top of it. I've been asked to conduct an ARTwalk for Cornelius - just a month before Harrisburg's ARTwalk. Yep, I'm officially insane.

If only I could figure out the right way to make money off of these things. But I do it for other artists like myself. To bring culture to the community and families together everywhere.

Working on the vendor list and we officially have 81 artists attending. Incredible!
I'll be listing them here shortly this week (that's my goal)

Until then spread the word about the event.
On another note if you would like to donate to the scholarship fund. Just click on this link through paypal and donate the amount you would like. Any support is great support. Even $5.00.

Thank you
Teresa

Well believe it or not it about that time again. I know it's not even summer but this is the time to promote, promote, promote our next ARTwalk. But first I do have to apologize - I originally had planned a June and August ARTwalk - due to unforeseen circumstance I was needing a break this summer - so I'm working on promoting our next one to be bigger and better, this gave me better opportunities and more time to do things right. Our Next one is

OCTOBER 17th/Saturday
10:00 a.m. til 2:00 p.m.
$20.00 (10' x 10') booth or $40.00 (20' x 10') booth 
(no more than that due to limited area for all vendors)
You provide your own tables, chairs, canopy and anything else that will make you stand out from the rest. Promote, promote, promote yourself that you will be attending - the more that know the more it will grow and they will come! I've seen it.

Registration Opens JULY 1st! 
photos must be sent in first to teresastern16@yahoo.com for compliance and 
then a link will be sent for registration.  We thank you for your cooperation!

Our last one in April brought in over 500 folks from all over that wanted to see the arts in our community and surrounding areas. I was so pleased - we expect more in October! Can't wait!

This October Festivities will include: Bring your Carved Pumpkin Judging Contest!
Cutest Kid's Costume and Cutest Pet Costume!

So MARK YOUR CALENDAR NOW! - Yep I said now. So you don't forget!
