This new socially distant arts fest will kick off this Saturday, October 3rd, throughout beuftiul Downtown Morris. Numerous businesses scattered throughout the historic shopping district will be hosting artists for the day, many of whom are featured arts from past years of the Liberty Arts Fest.
Art from these talented creators will be displayed in windows and storefronts of these shops, or at other visible points throughout the store. Visitors will have the choice admiring the art from the sidewalk, or venturing into the shops to speak with the arts and see some of their work up close. Select artists will be present, selling their work, while others will just be displaying their pieces, more akin to a gallery setting.
Select artists include:
- Marcia Wolter of Dundore Dolls will be selling needle felted animals at Montage Wine Bar & Spirits, between Noon and 6:00pm (307 Liberty St).
- Sami Cirino of Meraki + Mind will be selling handmade cards and original paintings at downtown Morris' newest store, Alpine Coffee Bar (312 Liberty St). Be sure to try a cup while you're there.
- Marisa Boyd, of Ottawa's Open Space Art Gallery, will be selling prints and handmade crafts at Morris Chop Shop (701 Liberty St).
- Don Belcha will be displaying his beautiful local wildlife and bird photography at The Morris Bakery (315 Liberty St).
