Artist deadline nears for White Haven Art Walk The Greater White Haven Chamber of Commerce is looking for artists of all kinds to be a part of the inaugural Art Walk, scheduled for Saturday, September 28. If you paint, sculpt or create any kind of art, check out the application at www.whitehavenchamber.com/ art-walk-sep-28. But be quick about it; applications are due by Tuesday, August 20. Artists, if selected, will pay $20 to offset costs and advertising. They will be able to sell their art directly to visitors, with no commission taken. The juried show will take place in four locations. Children’s art (unjuried) will be featured in the Borough Building at 312 Main Street.
Other locations include Trinity Artisans at 238 Main Street, the White Haven Area Community Library at 121 Towanda Street, and the Victorian Connection at 231 Wilkes-Barre Street. At each location, there will be beverages (adult beverages in some spots) and food tastings, live music, and lots of art. The event will run from 12 to 5 p.m. Cost to attend is $10 in advance. The first 50 people purchasing tickets will receive a free reusable swag bag. Everyone will receive a collectable silicon wine glass, and a stamp card to be entered into a prize drawing. Visit the chamber’s website or Facebook page to RSVP.
