Nearly 30 local artists will showcase and sell their works in downtown Waterford on Friday, Oct. 10, during Absolutely Waterford’s third annual River’s Edge Art Walk.
Art walkers can expect to view a wide range of fine art, including ceramics, woodcraft, water and oil paintings, photography, jewelry, pottery, fabric and more.
In addition to a variety of area artists, the family-friendly event features live performances by talented musicians, narrated trolley rides throughout the downtown, and a sampling of the best food and shopping Waterford offers.
As in previous years, students from Waterford Union High School will get a taste of what it’s like to exhibit and sell their art work, exhibiting their creations at the newly opened art gallery in the high school.
New this year, trolley passengers can learn a bit of downtown history, with a narrative provided by Absolutely Waterford officials who have researched the village’s earlier years.
The art walk returns to the community thanks to the goodwill of local sponsors, including Runzheimer Interntional, and volunteers who believe in Absolutely Waterford’s Main Street mission to revitalize the village’s historic core while promoting its arts and culture.
Artists are selected by a guild based on the samples they submit of their high-caliber works.
“We hope that the community continues to support this event by patronizing the downtown business hosts and featured artists,” said an AW spokesman. “What a great opportunity to get a head start on your Christmas list and keep your dollars local.”
The River’s Edge Art Walk runs from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Detailed information about the artists and their work is available online at http://absolutelywaterford.org/downloads/AW_Newsletter_Oct2014.pdf.
