An annual event that draws thousands of visitors, Labour Weekend’s ARTS in the VILLE 2021 is gathering steam. Many local artists will open their studios or show their work in pop-up venues throughout the town. Artists who took part last year have been contacted and the hunt is on for others who wish to be involved.
The War Memorial Hall will be the venue for a Makers’ Market, where stall holders will have their own creations on sale. Downstairs, work produced by artists participating in the festival will be exhibited in the Art Centre gallery from October 1st for a month. Each piece will be accompanied by information on the artist and where they can be found over the ARTS in the VILLE weekend. This will give you a chance to see what’s ahead.
Jeff Thomson will again gift an artwork as a prize for the treasure hunt, a fun-filled event that keeps big and little ‘uns busy as they scour the town looking for clues.
We will keep you posted as we move along. The Art Centre Helensville Facebook page has regular posts about the festival and the website has a useful FAQ page at https://artsintheville.weebly.com/faq.html.
