The third and last event of the 2016 series will take place from 10 am - 1 pm and will feature 6 different locations, including musicians and visual artists set-up throughout the district.
“We have seen the success of our First Friday events and wanted to build upon that,” said Amber Garrett, Executive Director for Main Street Greenville. “We feel this is a great opportunity to encourage individuals and families to make their way downtown on a Saturday morning or early afternoon, grab some breakfast, do some shopping, explore the already popular Farmers’ Market, take in the arts, and hopefully stay for lunch.”
The event will feature the following artists: Garcia & Scott (indie band from Nashville), Noah Back (singer-song writer from Centerville), Jennifer Murray (local musician), Luke Capasso (local painter), and Brent Cotter (local jewelry maker).
The visual artists will be set-up from 10 am - 1 pm, the band and musicians will perform from 11 am - 1 pm, and the Farmers’ Market will take place from 9 am - 1 pm. In addition, retail stores and restaurants will be open for all to enjoy.
“We are excited to watch these events grow in popularity,” said Garrett. “We heard lots of positive feedback from those in attendance over the past two months.”
The series is free to the public and all are encouraged to bring blankets or lawn chairs to sit and enjoy the music. In the event of inclement weather, please visit Main Street Greenville’s website or social media outlets for updates.
Main Street Greenville is a non-profit organization committed to revitalization efforts in downtown Greenville, making it a desirable destination. The organization received funding for Street Art Saturdays from the Darke County Endowment for the Arts, the Vectren Foundation, Ohio Arts Council, and from citizens who made personal contributions. “These types of programs would not exist without the support of grants and donations, we are so thankful for all of the support we have received to get this series off the ground and we look forward to seeing everyone downtown,” said Garrett.
Information about August events will be released in the near future. To learn more about Main Street Greenville and Street Art Saturdays, visit www.mainstreetgreenville.org, follow them on Facebook, or contact their office at 937-548-4998.
