Gardiner Artwalk Art Exhibition
Water Street Gardiner, Maine
On August 14th, 2009, area artists will once again be showcased in storefronts and studios in Gardiner’s historic downtown for an evening of art appreciation and exhibition. The event is free and open to the public Friday August 14th, from 5:30-8:30pm. The August 14th event is the second of three Artwalks for the 2009 season, the following, December 4th .
Artwalk Gardiner was formally launched in the fall of 2005 by the Artdogs™ studios and a handful of area artists who exhibited their work to a well attended, appreciative audience. Artwalk Gardiner is a non-juried, member-run organization that accepts artists within a ten-mile radius of downtown Gardiner.
Through regular exhibitions in downtown Gardiner, the Artwalk’s mission is to increase community awareness and appreciation of the visual arts; to encourage interaction with local artists and the public by providing artists with a supportive network that fosters the creative economy.
Artwalk Gardiner has drawn hundreds of people for this quarterly event collaborating closely with the local businesses. Nearly a dozen storefronts display twenty or more area artists. To give the community a sneak peek, A1 To Go, a popular downtown eatery, hosts a preview show beginning August 7th. Maps will be available at area businesses to match venues to artists.
