Art in the Park, Monday August 5

  WELCOME! Your presence at this year’s Art-in-the-Park is very much appreciated. Thank you for participating in our show.  We look forward to seeing you on August 5th! LOCATION Please take a moment to check your booth number and location. Booth numbers can be found here: http://artintheparkoakville.com/Participating_Artists.html Booth layout Map: http://artintheparkoakville.com/Booth_Layout_Map.html There are no bad booth numbers! Traditionally, visitors will check out all of the artists’ booths. SET-UP   This year as usual, in order to minimize congestion, there will be two arrival time slots.  Congestion during set-up has been a major complaint from many exhibitors for several years.  Also the Town of Oakville insists that no visitors can be on the field while there are cars on it.  For safety reasons, the Town requires a half-hour separation between visitors and cars.

Art in the Park Oakville - Less Than a Month Away! Get Ready to Shine!

  Hi Everyone, Just a friendly reminder that Art in the Park Oakville is less than a month away – Monday, August 5th, from 10am to 5pm at Waterfront Heritage Park! It's time to dust off your displays, stock up on your best work, and get those sales mechanisms ready! For many artists, cash, cheques, and personal point-of-sale systems (like Square) are popular choices. Sales are the most important part of the day - be prepared! Heads up – the park has public Wi-Fi, but with a big crowd, it might be a little overwhelmed on the day. Consider having offline options for processing sales. Traffic and Parking: Here's an important update: Northbound Bronte Road is currently closed for construction. Be mindful of this when planning your arrival. You can still access the park from Bronte Road southbound, but when leaving, you'll need to use an alternate route northbound, like Jones Street or Nelson Street. The good news is the parking lots next to the fie
