BATTLE
GROUND VILLAGE OUTDOOR MARKET HOSTS
‘ART IN THE PARK’, September
7th
Everyone
is invited to bring their art of any kind:
photographs,
sculptures, paintings, fashion, writing.
If
you are a budding, or seasoned, artist (of any age) and would like to
display and sell your heartfelt artwork, then Saturday, September 7th
at the Battle Ground Village Outdoor Market is your opportunity!
There will be tents and tables set up in Central Park for
participants to use free
of charge;
of course, if you have a lot of items, please bring your own table
and/or easels.
“My
children are excited to bringing out their canvases and photographs
to ‘show-off’ and sell,” says Jennifer Riddle, Market Director.
“I am looking forward to watching them describe their ‘creative
process’ to visitors. I am also looking forward to seeing all the
wonderfully imaginative artwork from local residents.”
“Art
in the Park” opens at 10am and runs through 3pm. If you are
interested in participating in the event, just bring your items to
the Central Park area and find an open space to display your work.
The Battle Ground Art Alliance will also have an information booth at
the Market. Beth Johnson-Burger, the President of the Alliance, will
be there handing out information about the non-profit organization,
their upcoming Studio Tour on September 14th,
and answering any questions.
“The
Battle Ground Art Alliance is a place for new and experienced artists
in the area to network and create friendships,” explains
Johnson-Burger. “The Alliance is not media specific, so we connect
with photographers, sculptors, writers, painters, and designers.”
“Art
in the Park” is a great occasion for developing artists of all ages
to present their work, connect with other artists in the area, and
receive feedback.
Visitors
to the Market will be able to view the art, as well as stroll through
the Market, where returning produce vendors and nurseries, Yacolt
Mountain Farm and Nursery, Charter Oak Farm, Hill’s Naturally
Grown, Jacki’s Heirloom Garden, Five Sprout Farm, and ZK Flowers
and Produce will be selling produce and flowers ripe and blooming for
the season.
“We
are family and pet friendly, with live local musicians and kid
activities, like face painting and pony rides. It’s a perfect place
to spend a Saturday afternoon--shopping, eating, relaxing and
listening to music,” explains Susan Walters, Market Manager.
A
list of vendors, details of all the Market events, and special
happenings, including what is coming up in September, is located on
the Battle Ground Village website: www.bgvillage.com.

Ground Village Outdoor Market hours are from 10am-3pm every Saturday
