Central Alberta Artwalk Festival returns after 11 years

For the first time in over a decade, the Central Alberta Artwalk Festival will happen Aug. 29 in Red Deer.

Colourful market booths featuring locally created paintings, ceramics, textile arts and jewelry will line the site of the former Buffalo Hotel at the corner of Ross Street and 51 Avenue.

Organizers say the 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. event will highlight original works by 26 Red Deer-area vendors, with musical entertainment provided by local musicians.

“The original Artwalk festival was started to allow artists and artisans to promote and sell products of their creativity,” they say in a release.
