Wiscasset Art Walk opens with hurdy gurdy, new shops
Twelve years in, and there’s always something new to discover at Wiscasset Art Walk. The 2024 season opens on Thursday, June 27, 4-7 p.m., in Wiscasset Village. Visitors are invited to peruse the Village galleries and shops. Village sidewalks are lined with original art, regional vendors, and local community tables where visitors can meet the artists and their neighbors!
While perusing, snag something tasty from Bowlicious food truck or enjoy Village cuisine from one of the open eating places, listed on the evening’s visitors’ map. Expect a wine tasting at Treats, sips at the new (and already a favorite) brew pub, and fine wines at In a Silent Way.
Stop in at Bicyclette, one of the newest shops in the Village, and extend a welcome to the owner, responsible for the collection of fine, handmade furniture on display.
Sit a spell for a game of chess, using handmade pieces, wrought by a local maker. And listen to the tunes played by Wiscasset’s own hurdy-gurdy musician!
Garden Club of Wiscasset, a perennial WAW participant, will have fresh bouquets for home and self!
In 2024, the business sponsors to-date who support the many free WAW activities and performers as Major Sponsors are Ames True Value, Big Barn Coffee, BIRCH Home Furnishings & Gifts, Carriage House Gardens, First National Bank, J. Edward Knight Insurance, Red’s Eats, Rock Paper Scissors, and Sherri Dunbar/Tim Dunham Realty.
