A must-see this spring is the fabulous arts festival in the historic village setting of Eden Mills.
In this village, home of the Eden Mills Writer’s Festival, come and experience a unique variety of visual arts: fine art, fiber art, jewellery, photography, and ceramics.
The outdoor streetscape offers the visitors the chance to stroll down the Main Street, shop and converse with accomplished artists.
The café in the community hall will provide a homemade lunch. Sit in the Artist’s Green, relax and enjoy the eclectic music and dance performances.
The artists in the festival continually strive to create a greener consciousness parallel to the Eden Mills carbon-neutral initiative.
Artists’ venues including studios, historic buildings Rivermead and the Mill, the community hall and tents are all indicated on the map in the brochure.
Well known visual artist, Jim Reed, exhibiting in Rivermead states, “Rivermead is a rehabilitated historic structure, among many in this village of serenity, which proudly displays a variety of paintings and sculpture.” The festival provides a “significant social element for the artists which is mutually supportive and inspirational through sharing.”
For a list of the artists with a description of their work and photos, a list of performances and times and brochures visit www.edenmillsartsfestival.com or visit the group’s Facebook page.
The festival runs May 23 and 24 from 11am to 5pm at the Eden Mills Community Hall, 104 York Street and Main Street. Admission is free.
