BAC Art Walk — Tent #178
Between the basketball courts and Lakeshore Drive
Come and say hello
I’ll be participating in Kempenfest for the first time this August long weekend as a Barrie Art Club vendor.
I’ve created a colourful collection of original paintings, small works, fine-art prints, hand-painted necklaces and locally inspired greeting cards. Whether you are looking for original Canadian art, a thoughtful gift or a keepsake from Barrie, I hope you’ll stop by and see the collection in person.
I’ll be at tent #178 on the BAC Art Walk, between the basketball courts and Lakeshore Drive.
New for Kempenfest: Historic Homes of Allandale
Inspired by historic homes on Cumberland Street in Barrie’s Allandale neighbourhood, this new greeting-card collection celebrates local architecture with bold colour and a touch of whimsy.
Each set includes:
Four different greeting cards
Four envelopes
Blank interiors for your own messages
Original artwork by Barrie artist Susan Hunter Guise
Designed and printed in Canada
The complete four-card set is $20.
It makes a lovely hostess gift, a distinctly Barrie keepsake or a special set of cards to keep and send.
Available at Kempenfest while quantities last.
