The 7th Annual Strathearn Art Walk
On September 8, 2018, the community of Strathearn hosted the biggest Strathearn Art Walk to date! What started as a small, local market, has now become the 2nd largest Art Walk in Edmonton. It was a great day celebrating the arts and music community with the backdrop of our beautiful city. This year the event welcomed over 270 artists and it was exciting to see the smiling faces of both new and returning artists! In addition to the artists, the Strathearn Art Walk had a diverse lineup of talented musicians playing throughout the day in the beer gardens. The Strathearn Art Walk is a noncurated event that welcomes painters, photographers, illustrators, diyers, and crafters who have a love for the art community in Edmonton.
This annual celebration of art strives to bring out the best in our community and neighbors. It has built upon the idea of bringing people together to celebrate emerging and professional art and music, while having the chance to take home something personal and unique.
The 2018 Strathearn Art Walk featured several new additions this year, including Fat Franks, Juniper Café and Bistro, Nikita’s Creamery, District Café and Bistro. This year’s features in the beer gardens were all Canadian focused beverages that included Blindman Brewery, Strathcona Spirits, and a variety of BC wines. After the 2017 Art Walk, the need for a bike lock up area was recognized. Thank you to URBIS Developments for donating to the Art Walk our own safe bike lock up area for visitors to utilize. Two lucky bike riders were the winners of brand new bike locks from Pinhead Locks.
The Strathearn Art Walk Committee would like to extend a huge thank you to our dedicated volunteers, sponsors, and partners for helping us host this annual celebration. The Strathearn Art Walk would not be possible without the generosity of it’s supporters! Because of their generous help, the Strathearn Art Walk is able to provide a low-cost venue for artists, and a free event for visitors to enjoy! The 2018 Strathearn Art Walk is set to be held on September 7th, 2019.
