People were able to immerse themselves in a picturesque street market-style experience at the Town of Vegreville Art Walk, which was held outdoors at the Vegreville Centennial Library on June 26.
There was artwork displayed by Vegreville Visual Artists, Family and Community Support Services, the After School program’s local youth artists, and the Pride Committee Vegreville and Area.
Perogies and Jam provided the music entertainment with Jim Davis and Friends performing traditional, rhythmic folk and old-time music, and later, the lovely voice of Julia Dolesji traveled throughout the scene.
As well, Member of Exhibit Hall Committee Ardythe Butler had a table to encourage anyone from three years of age and older to showcase their artwork and crafts for Vegreville Bench Show at the Vegreville Agricultural Society fair. She also wanted to teach them how easy it is to create items and enter.
Vegreville Recreation Programmer Molly Grant explained that the Town of Vegreville collaborated with the Vegreville Visual Artists (VVA) and Perogies and Jam and was excited to present this show. “This year’s event is proudly part of June Parks and Recreation Month, a time dedicated to celebrating the spaces, programs, and people that foster strong and connected communities,” Grant said.
Grant went on to say that by hosting the Art Walk outdoors, the event not only celebrates local talent but also highlights Vegreville’s beautiful green spaces, inviting residents and visitors alike to experience art, music, and culture in a welcoming, accessible setting.”
