Township of St. Joseph Hosting Outdoor Art Show – northchannelcurrent.ca

The Township of St. Joseph Parks, Recreation and Culture Committee will be presenting “Harvest of Artists” a new outdoor art and fine craft show to be held Saturday, August 29, 2020. The event will be held at the Centennial Grounds in Richards Landing.

Media release: This year many of our favourite traditional events have been cancelled, leaving artists and community members hoping for some relief. As restrictions loosen, and researchers indicate that outdoor events can be held responsibly with social distancing, the Committee saw an opportunity to take advantage of our unique Centennial Grounds location for an outdoor art show. The Grounds are an ideal location to set up a variety of artists with open space to distance from one another. The space also gives guests the room to distance while enjoying some recent work from the area’s many talented artists.

Applications will be available for interested artists by August 13th, and are due August 26th. There will be a small fee for participating artists to cover promotional expenses, with any surplus being donated the Richard’s Landing Children’s Library. We are looking for artists who create original works in a variety of mediums such as: custom wood furniture, walking sticks, painters, printmakers, photographers, weavers, ceramicists and sculptors.

If you have any questions about applying as an artist, please call the Township of St. Joseph Office at 705-246-2625 ext. 201 or email Sherie at [email protected]
