Art in the Park Oakville

  "The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web." - Pablo Picasso Oh my creative compadres, can you feel it? That electric buzz in the air that signals Art in the Park Oakville is just around the corner! As I sit here in my little corner of the internet, sipping coffee that's gone cold because I got distracted sketching the peculiar way my neighbor walks his cat (yes, you read that correctly), I can't help but get swept up in the pre-show excitement!   The Clock is Ticking, Artists!

  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...
