First Friday
Artisan Stroll moved to August
If you are a local artist or you know someone who is, please help Main
Street Greenville spread the word. The Artisan Stroll will be in August
this year!
The event has been moved from October to August as part of the
organization's series of monthly First Friday events. This year's event
will take place on Friday, August 7th from 6-9 pm.
The date of the event changed for a few reasons. The unpredictable
weather and the lack of natural light during the evening hours in
October were the main two reasons for the change. The committee hopes
moving the event to August will assist with both of these concerns.
All local artists and talented creative people are invited to sell
and/or demonstrate their craft during the event. The artists will join
many downtown businesses who will stay open late for First Friday. The
event is also scheduled to feature music, activities for children, and
Chalk the Block (a community chalk-art contest for those who attend the
event)!
The Artisan’s Stroll Committee is looking for artisans and crafters to
display and sell their paintings, photography, handmade jewelry, dolls,
children’s apparel, wreaths, flower arrangements and more during the
event.
Registration to showcase and sell your items is $15.00 per space, which
serves as a donation to Main Street Greenville, the non-profit
community organization that creates the First Friday events for the
downtown district. The deadline to sign-up is July 8th, 2015. For more
information contact Susan Fowble at 937-548-1414 or fowble51@gmail.com.
The committee is a group of dedicated volunteers (Patti Jetter, Kim
Murray, Mary Saintignon, Fran Brubaker, Deb Niekamp, Nancy Person,
Peggy Jasenski and Susan Fowble) who work closely with Main Street
Greenville’s Executive Director, Amber Garrett.
Main Street Greenville is committed to stimulating and supporting
revitalization efforts, historic preservation and economic growth in
Historic Downtown Greenville. To learn more about the organization,
