Have you ever envisioned your artwork gracing a sun-drenched setting, captivating a crowd of art enthusiasts amidst the fresh air and natural beauty? If so, then exhibiting at an outdoor art show is the perfect opportunity to bring that dream to life! There's a unique magic that happens when art and nature intertwine, creating an unforgettable experience for both artists and viewers alike.

  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!

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...
