Arthur hosting Art in the Street this summer

The Arthur and District Chamber of Commerce are organizing Art in the Street for July 3 from 8am to 5pm for the main street of Arthur in front of the chamber office.

Chamber chairman Mary Schmidt noted there is the potential of expanding the event down the street - depending on participation.

In her letter to council, she stated the event is the same day as the Arthur Optimist Club is  holding a ball tournament at the arena.

“With many people coming to town due to the tournament as well as many travelling through due to the long weekend, we thought it might be a good time to highlight some of the artists that are in our area, thus Art in the Street.

“We would like to ask permission from council to hold this event on the main street, perhaps the use of some tables (if needed) as well find out If township liability insurance will cover us for this event.”

Council had no issue in giving its support of the project.
