Regarding Art in North Beach

 

fair From BBG Member Celia Molofsky
Owner, The Wheel Clothing Store in North Beach:
  
Mark Frazer, the Mayor of North Beach informed me today of the decision to relocate the Art Fair. A move which will negatively impact many of our local businesses by drawing foot traffic away from the 7th Street corridor. The town made this decision without discussion with local businesses or with interested parties. The location is yet TBD and the Town will now manage the logistics of the Fair.

In the past year Janel & I developed many good friends through the Art Fair. We will of course wish to continue this relationship with you the artists and the arts. If anyone would like to be a featured Artist here at the shop please just get in touch with us (410) 286-0000.

ITMT, we will keep you informed of any new information.
