From the Huntsville Festival of the Arts
Due to this weekend’s inclement weather forecast, the En Plein Air Market, originally scheduled to run in River Mill Park on June 22, has been moved to Canvas Brewery, which is located at 12 John St.
The indoor market will run from 10 am-5 pm. Seventeen vendors will be on hand to display and sell their work. There will also be live music from Jack Gaughan and Adina V. Interactive activities by Hear Well Be Well and Red Pine Art Supplies, along with aerial demonstrations by Ascension Aerials.
The day will still feature the popular En Plein Air painting event. Artists will be painting live in select downtown businesses, including Cole Art Market, Cedar Canoe Books, Pharmasave, Soapstones, and Up North Games between the hours of 10 am-3 pm. At 4 pm, these paintings will be included in a live auction at Canvas Brewery, with proceeds from the auction going to HfA’s Kareen Burns Scholarship supporting a student studying visual art in a post-secondary institution or program. Note: the auction has moved from 5 pm to 4 pm to accommodate this new arrangement.
