On Aug. 5 the merchant district of Elora will be alive with art for first Art in the Open event.
Also billed as “Elora’s Plein Air Event,” the art event and auction, organized by Strata Gallery, takes place from 10am to 6pm (rain date is Aug. 11).
From 10am to 5pm watch as artists execute paintings representing a direct response to the scene or subject directly in front of them. This event takes place along the sidewalks in the merchant district of Elora.
A silent auction will follow from 5 to 6pm of all the completed works. While at the event, listen to music in the Elora Greenspace at the corner of Mill and Metcalfe Streets.
Aug. 5 is the civic holiday Monday, so organizers are encouraging those interested to bring out family and friends and plan a day in the village to take in all the sights. Visit www.elora.info for where to shop, eat and stay.
