2015 Artwalk kicks off summer season Friday
By Nelson Daily Staff
Artwalk is a singularly Nelson activity celebrating 27 years of local and regional artist promotion.
Artwalk attracts custom to local businesses along Baker Street, Vernon Street and Front Street by presenting the work of local artists in business locations as venues and galleries.
In partnership with Blue Night, a new start up arts presenter in Nelson, we plan to enhance the activities in Nelson by increasing presentation and performance through collaboration.
Opening night for Artwalk 2015 is Friday (July 3rd) from 5-9 p.m.
Traffic on the 400 block of Baker Street will be closed and filled it with community arts.
The public is urged to come out and tour the 17 venues featuring 25 visual artists and enjoy our pop up street festival featuring travelling musicians, Johnny Magic, Tin Type Photography, henna and face paint as well local street performers.
Thursday is the Annual General Meeting and Artist/Venue Meet and Greet at the Old White Church Hall, located at 602 Kootenay Street.
