Artwalk Gardiner celebrates 15th year of promoting area artists

GARDINER — Area artists will once again be showcasing original artworks in storefronts and studios in Gardiner’s historic downtown Water Street from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 22.
This is the 15th year Artwalk Gardiner has brought together artists, businesses and the community for an evening of art exhibitions, music, refreshments and community good cheer. The event is free and open to the public.
Artwalk Gardiner was formally launched in the fall of 2005 by Artdogs Studios and a handful of area artists who exhibited their work to a well-attended, appreciative audience. Artwalk Gardiner is a non-juried, member-run organization that accepts artists within a 20 mile radius of downtown Gardiner.
Through regular exhibitions in downtown Gardiner, the Artwalk’s mission is to increase community awareness and appreciation of the visual arts; to encourage interaction with local artists and the public by providing artists with a supportive network that fosters the creative economy.
Artwalk Gardiner has drawn hundreds of people for this event collaborating closely with the local businesses. Nearly a dozen storefronts display 20 or more area artists. Maps will be available at area businesses to match venues to artists. For additional information about Artwalk Gardiner, contact Artwalk Coordinator Helen Wright at 207- 512-0098 or artwalkgardiner@gmail.com
