Celebrate the holiday season with ARTWALK GARDINER on Friday, December 4th from 5 – 8 pm. Carolers will serenade visitors throughout Historic Downtown Gardiner, and Maine artists will display their work in shops and galleries along Water Street. The Holiday Raffle is also back this December! Pick up a map at any ARTWALK host location. Collect artist or host signatures from at least 7 host locations to enter the raffle. Drop off your map at Circling the Square Fine Art Press by 7:45pm for your chance to win the painting “Buoys” by artist Taylor Newbeck.
There will also be a tree lighting in the park by Johnson Hall Opera House starting at 5:30pm. The December ARTWALK GARDINER is the perfect opportunity to support local artists and businesses, find unique gifts, and hear holiday favorites.
ARTWALK GARDINER was established in 2005 by ARTDOGS Studios in collaboration with a handful of artists from the Gardiner area. Their mission is to encourage community appreciation of the arts, connect local artists to the general public, create sustainable networks that support local artists, increase awareness of local arts organizations, and foster the creative economy through regular exhibitions and events in historic downtown Gardiner. Since its inception, ARTWALK GARDINER has drawn thousands of visitors to Water Street to enjoy these delightful evenings.
