Island Arts Council is hosting the very popular, 4th annual Art in The Yard.
The event is scheduled Saturday, September 20 from 10-4 and Sunday, Sunday, September 21 from 12-4. The free event features more than 60 local artists who work in a variety of media—all displaying work in their yards, homes and studios.
Art will be for sale at each location with artists on hand to talk about their work and to discuss custom projects. Art forms represented include painting, stained and fused glass, oyster shell, metal, wood working, resin art, photography, fabric art and jewelry.
While Art in the Yard officially kicks off each day at Good Hops Brewing Company, organizer and island resident Beth Carter says visitors can start their tour at any of the artist locations.
Interactive Map is available.
Printed maps are offered at the Island Arts Council tent at Good Hops and are also available at many local businesses on the island. “The itinerary is designed to be flexible, letting you choose where you want to start with the goal of seeing as many artists as possible,” says Carter.
Back by popular demand, we will be having an art raffle each day as a fund raiser to support the many programs and projects of the Island Arts Council.
Various pieces of art donated by participating Art in the Yard artists will be available as raffle prizes.
Raffle tickets will be sold the days of the event and the donated art will be on display, all at Good Hops Brewery.
Raffle tickets will be drawn at the close of the event each day on Saturday and Sunday.
