ARTIST'S
WALK
Festival in the Park, Charlotte's oldest and ever popular art's festival,
opens Thursday, September 23, 2009 at 6:00pm at Freedom Park and runs
through Sunday, September 26. Admission is free to all!
Over
150 artisans have been invited to exhibit and sell their work at the 46th
annual Festival in the Park. Festival spectators will have the chance to
meet and chat with the artists while looking for that special piece of
artwork to grace their home. From caricature artists to fine oil paintings
and pottery, the Festival offers art for all ages.
The
Artist's Walk is an area of Festival in the Park, which will consist of fine
arts and crafts. No commercial venues, electronic music or other events will
be in this special area. The artists will be juried into the Festival by a
group of judges from the local area. On-site judging will take place during
the first two days in the Artist's Walk area. The Best of Show award winner
