GRAND HAVEN ARTWALK CANCELS 2020 EVENT
Grand Haven, Michigan May 14, 2020:
The Grand Haven ArtWalk Committee, along with the Grand Haven Main Street Board of Directors, have regretfully decided to cancel this year’s annual ArtWalk. After much discussion and consideration, a conflagration of circumstances, including the COVID-19 global pandemic, necessitated such cancellation.
The event was scheduled to run from September 22 through October 4 throughout the Grand Haven Main Street district.
“We are greatly disappointed that the 11th ArtWalk has to be canceled. But with so much unknown about the virus we feel it is our responsibly to keep the integrity of the event in tact and to move cautiously for the next several months.” Said Vicki Ellis, Chair of the GHMS promotions committee. “We recognize that this event is one that our artist community looks forward to, and we hope to continue the tradition in 2021.”
Grand Haven ArtWalk is an annual celebration of artists, local businesses and members of the lakeshore community in a collective celebration of art. Artists from the local area and beyond participate in an art competition in the following categories: drawing, painting, photography, sculpture (3D), mixes media and recycled art.
