Local Artists Wanted for First Friday Event

Chalk art created by Stephanie Schieltz.

Artisan Stroll is the theme for Main Street Greenville's First Friday event held in October, which has everything to do with handmade, homemade, and artisan craft! The event will be held from 6-9 pm in the downtown district on Friday, October 3rd.

The committee (consisting of Patti Jetter, Kim Murray, Mary Saintignon, Victoria Horsley, Fran Brubaker, Deb Niekamp, and Susan Fowble) is working with Main Street Greenville's Director, Amber Garrett, to plan the Artisan’s Stroll and they are 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.

All local artists and talented creative people are invited to sell and/or demonstrate their craft. The artists will join many downtown businesses who will be staying open late for October’s First Friday event. The event will also feature music and Chalk the Block (a chalk-art contest for those who attend the event)!

Registration to showcase and sell your items is $15.00 per space, which is a donation to Main Street Greenville (a non-profit organization). The deadline to sign-up is September 10th, 2014. For more information contact committee member Susan Fowble at 937-548-1414 or fowble51@gmail.com.
