GET YOUR FEET ON THE STREET FOR THIS! ARTBEAT BRAMPTON BACK IN DOWNTOWN
ARTBEAT
Beaux Arts Brampton, the businesses of downtown Brampton, and the City of Brampton are excited to launch the second annual ARTBeat on Friday October 18, 2019 & Saturday October 19, 2019.
ARTBeat Brampton will be an inspirational art walk in the downtown core, showcasing local artists from Brampton. Each artist will be paired with a downtown business and will display their art work on the above noted dates & time for the public to participate in guided tours or self-directed tour with the help of the event map.
This year’s event aims to enhance community engagement with the ARTS and ARTISTS of Brampton through the inclusion of an “art making” station and ARTS market component on the Saturday. The idea is to activate Vivian Lane with a hands-on activity for the community as well as create a marketplace opportunity for Brampton artists/artisans to sell unique artistic items.
Kick off of ARTBeat will take place at Beaux Arts Galleries, where participants can meet tour guides and pick up their ARTBeat map and leave written comments of their experience. Beaux Arts Brampton is the lead on this community art event with committee partners, as they work to continue to create opportunities and beautify public and private spaces with art and culture.
Regan Hayward President of Beaux Arts Brampton is very pleased to see this event back again on the Beaux Arts Brampton calendar. “Brampton has a bounty of talent in the arts with many visual artists working diligently and consistently in their studios, creating imagery that highlights their distinct styles! Many of our visual artists are active in gallery showcases such as Beaux Arts but also outside our City limits, ARTBeat Brampton is a great opportunity for our visual artists to not only showcase their talented art works at local business’ but also meet and interact with our community to develop rapport and support for their visual arts practice! Participating Artists are feeling the excitement of showcasing and demonstrating their talents during ArtBeat Brampton!” says Hayward.
