ArtWalk 2010.m4v
The Huronia Foundation for the Arts joined forces with the Midland BIA for the 2nd Annual ArtWalk street festival. King Street in downtown Midland was centre stage for ArtWalk 2010. Saturday August 14th and Sunday August 15th saw a bigger and better festival, as the ArtWalk grew to become a two day event. Last year an estimated two thousand people participated in ArtWalk. “This year we are surpassed last year’s numbers” said Gord McKay, Chair, Huronia Foundation for the Arts. ArtWalk gave the community a chance to enjoy the arts as well as some of Midland’s most unique shops. “Many of the downtown merchants were out on the street with unique gifts and food for young and old” said Karianne Copeland, Chair Midland BIA. “It was a chance for everyone to come downtown and see Midland’s shopping district at its best.” ArtWalk featured a feast of local artists and crafts. Artists were juried so the best in painting, metalwork and sculpture were on display. A full day musical event took place on Saturday where visitors were entertained by the likes of Marc Hanson, Old Habits and local favorites Claude et Lucie Charlebois. Special art activities for the family included children’s “street painting”, a public participation mural, buskers and art demonstrations.
