The 11th Annual Fernwood Art Stroll is being organized now
›› Margaret Hantiuk
This fun community event is a tour of neighbourhood artist and artisan—craftspeople, makers of things—studios for a show and sale. It will be held this year on Saturday, June 9th and Sunday June 10th from 11am to 4pm.
To participate you must have a studio in Fernwood, be here to open it that weekend, help us to organize the event, and pay a $50 brochure and website fee. We publish about 4,000 brochures that go out all over the city.
This is an unjuried event: we have had all kinds of artists and artisans join including painters, photographers, potters, sculptors, jewelers, metalworkers, printmakers, makers of garden art, tools, ornaments, seamstresses and fabric/weaving/wool artists, glass artists, flower arrangers, calligraphers and more.
Some people show their work in their studio or workshop, others in their garage, carport, patio or yard, and some simply show in their living room. Often participants invite others to join them—whom can be from outside of Fernwood as long as they are showing at a Fernwood address.
We have had increasing success with this event—with some visitors telling us it was the best studio tour in the city last year.
Please get in touch with Margaret at mmhantiuk@shaw.ca or 778-265-9004 to join or if you have questions. You can go to our website for more info, fernwoodartstroll.ca.
