Art on the Bluffs Art Walk

Mark your calendars now!  Because one month from today is Columbia, Illinois' 3rd annual Art on the Bluffs Art Walk.  That's right, Saturday, October 1st from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. right on Main Street.  The length of the walk has been shortened and improved.  It now runs (or should I say walks) from the Ace Hardware parking lot to City Hall, about a third of the previous length.  Features of the walk include the Southern Illinois Artisans Guild with Alpacas, the Miliken Art Group, a Student Gallery, Kids' Walk, over 40 artists booths and music by Second Sojourn, Zydeco Crawdaddy's, the Rockhoppers and a jazz band.  A trolley will pick up guests and take them to visit the Schumaker School House and to a tour of the Miller-Fiege Home on Main Street.  For more information and to see a list of artists with examples of their works visit their website at www.artonthebluffs.com.  I'll post some of my finds at the art fair after the event!
