Art & Music Afternoons (aka Art in the Garden)
In support of local artists and musicians, small groups of artists are invited to set up in the Heritage Garden with a display of their works – painting, quilting, pottery, weaving, drawing, collage, carving, sculpting, often with musicians playing in the background. Each event is advertised on our website, Tideline, local papers and bulletin board posters during July and August.
After a brief break due to COVID-19 in 2020 and 2021, we now have a busy 2022 summer season with Art in the Garden events. All events are on Tuesday afternoons, noon to 3 p.m.
