ARTWALK at Citywalk

Come Celebrate the Arts!!

Enjoy an artistic stroll along the balcony

walkway of Palm Coast’s new City walk and view over 200 original works of contemporary and Traditional Fine art. Experience Palm Coast’s first Gallery Hop as CityWalk’s Empty balcony Storefronts are transformed into Art galleries.

CityWalk At Palm Coast and the Flagler County Art Education Association is hosting an Artist Walk on Sunday, November 16th from 11a.m to 3p.m. City Walk is located on the corner of Cypress Point PKWY and Cypress Edge Drive in Palm Coast, Florida.

City Walk has opened their doors and invited ambiance and culture to several of its empty store fronts.

The goal of the ArtWalk is to give professional, local artists and art students from local Colleges, Community Education, and Public and Private Flagler County Schools the opportunity to exhibit artwork and perform for the community.

Many works of art will be displayed in the windows and on the empty store walls as well as on easels along the walkways. Installation art will also be incorporated in several store exhibits. Awards and recognition will be given to student artists.

Other activities will be available during the artist walk, such as portrait drawing, kids crafts, and face painting.

ARTIST RECEPTION & SNEAK PEAK

The artist reception will be held on November 15th from 6-8 P.M.

at CityWalk in Dominic’s courtyard and outdoor cafe area.

TJ Rider of Rider Performance will be performing live music,

Dominic’s will be providing the hour d’ ourves, and

Hammock Wine and Cheese Shoppe will be providing the beverage.

Guests may visit each artist’s gallery during this time for a preview of each artist’s work before the Sunday Art Show, Entertainment, and Festivities which will take place on the 16th, from 11-3 p.m.

Dear ArtWalk Performers, artists, students, and supporters,

I cannot begin to express how amazed I am with the success of the ArtWalk at CityWalk Event. This all would have never happened if Jeff Sawyer, the Better Buy broker at CityWalk and Bagwan Asnani the developer had said no to the idea of an art show and celebration one month ago...and... it took all of you working together as a team to make the event successful .

A very big THANK YOU goes out to Jeff Sawyer with Better Buy, all of his wonderful assistants, Bagwan Asnani, Nisha Asnani, Pat Miller, and many others at Interstate Holdings... and of course, Dominics and the Hammock Wine and Cheese Shop.

Artwalk not only brought together performers, artists, students, and educators, but it connected and brought the community and the arts together.

I overheard so many people expressing their excitement, gratitude, and their hope that ArtWalk at CityWalk would happen again. It truly warms my heart to know so many enjoyed the event so much. Indeed, I feel it must happen again, and I hope that you do too.

If you have any great photos of ArtWalk or would like to share your experiences...please e-mail me and I will add them to the ArtWalk Website.

Thanks again everyone, for making the 1st annual ArtWalk at CityWalk a reality.

Sincerely,

Gena Brodie Robbins

President, Flagler County Art Education Association

MHS Art Teacher
