Are you a budding artist, or someone who likes to play in the woods?  Why not consider joining a keen group of local folks participating in the 3rd Annual Wild Art Walk in Battersea this October?

"It's a lot of fun seeing what people come up with for their displays," says organizer Sarah Wiseman.  "Last year we had 25 participants.  There were paintings, metal sculptures, fabric art, basketry and paper mache.  

The Art Walk is on the 3 km Milburn Trail, a Nature Conservancy property in the heart of Battersea.  Artists can choose from a one day display during the Pumpkin Festival on October 4th, or, if their piece can withstand the weather, they can have it in place for the month of October. Participants will gather in mid-September to choose the location they want on the trail.  Their piece can be installed the week of September 29th.

"Hundreds of people walk the trail to see the art in October, says Wiseman.  It's a great way to get out into nature and enjoy the fall colours!

Artists have ranged in age from 8 to 85.  All South Frontenac residents are invited to participate.  You do not need to be a professional!   Simply contact This email address is being protected from spambots.
