August 4    Erieau Art on the Boulevard 9am – 4 pm    Erieau, Ontario.

This event attracts large, friendly crowds and a lot of artists and is a favourite show for us.

Erieau is a lovely, relaxed and friendly community with a wide green boulevard that invites strolling — and cool, fresh lake breezes to keep artists and visitors cool.  Everyone will have a great day.

Participating co-op artists include Chris Ford, Nicola Ferguson, Albin Kristy, Christine Gold   http://artontheboulevard.ca/

The boulevard in Erieau just requires strolling.
