Cornwall Art Walk returns

Mandy Prevost

Discover beautiful art in unique settings with the Cornwall Art Walk this Thursday, October 25th.

This popular monthly event sees artists displaying their art on easels in windows and on the walls of businesses in Downtown Cornwall. Many of the artists will be present to paint or draw during the evening and to talk to people about their art. Thursday’s event is the last of the 2018 season and it runs from 6 pm to 9 pm.

“The Cornwall Art Walk is bringing a festival vibe to Cornwall while showcasing the arts culture our city has to offer. The energy of the Cornwall Art walk has been amazing,” said artist Mandy Prevost, one of the Art Walk participants. “It’s got a relaxed but cultured vibe and makes for a great way to take in different art styles and mingle with some of the members of the local art community.”

With many downtown businesses participating, why not take a stroll and visit some of the unique shops, then stop by one of our savory downtown restaurants. Enjoy the music in the air, or participate in one of the improve skits, as you enjoy the downtown core’s unique shops and savory restaurants while mingling with various artist and sharing a love for our city.
