art on the street

The 6th annual art exhibition & sale hits Quebec Street in Downtown Guelph, Saturday July 19th from 11am until 5 pm.

At the height of the summer, the Downtown Guelph Business Association is pleased to bring artistic ingenuity and vibrancy to downtown Guelph. art on the street comes to this beautiful historic venue on Saturday July 19th and promises to offer a wealth of imagination featuring over 75 visual artists. Painters, potters, jewellers, glass-blowers and woodworkers represent just some of the regional talent that will line Quebec Street to showcase their work to the public. Join us as we celebrate the 6th anniversary of what has become a high-calibre and much loved, juried art event.

To complement the artists’ booths, an inspired festival atmosphere can be found at the furthest end of Quebec Street. Guelph Environmental Leadership will oversee an Act of Art in the form of a large chalk mural at the family fountain and St. George’s Square will come alive with music and magic throughout the afternoon.

At noon Taking Turns will perform world music for children followed closely by a Guelph School of Music Flute Choir performance at 12:30; then singer-songwriter Bang Ly is sure to please at 1:00pm. At 2:00pm the Suzuki String School of Guelph will delight with their classical and traditional music, and at 2:30 Wilber Cortez will dazzle the crowds with his magical prowess. Finally at 4:00pm you are invited to move to the groove with local favourites Dancehall Free For All.

All are welcome to art on the street for this spectacular and free event.
