Art & Stroll - Danville Fine Arts Faire
I had an immense pleasure to actually visit and capture Danville Fine Art Faire.It was a perfect summer day to walk around these unique- art displays byaround 200+ artists all around the cities. Danville is a beautiful city admist nature and the wonderful people living around.This event marks it 22nd year, well successful year.
This festival, co-sponsored by the Danville Area Chamber of Commerce and the Town of Danville, entered its twenty-second year and attracted over 50,000 people , to beautiful Hartz Avenue in downtown Danville- city 40 miles east of San Francisco that's a mix of beautiful residences from the Gold Rush days along with magnificent homes of the future. Quaint Hartz Avenue is a natural place for unique specialty shops and gourmet dining. During June, the weather is usually very warm, but the tree-lined street offers plenty of shady rest areas... It was totally fun and people enjoyed every bit of it.
A key ingredient to the success of this festival was the high quality of art and crafts being displayed by over 200 artisans. This festival had approximately 50% fine art and 50% contemporary and traditional crafts.
This Fine arts festival featured-
ceramics ; fiber ; fine art ; glass ;jewelry ; leather & metal;mixed media ; photography and wood.
This year's expanded Italian Street Painting area included past participating artists: Christine Pasadis, Cheryl and Wayne Renshaw, Hien Nguyen, Cece Linayao and Shirley Lehner-Rhoades. Working side-by-side on Prospect Street were new participants: Michele Fowler, Cynthia Kostylo, Marlon Yanes and Joel Yau. All these created their 12 x 12 ft. flower-themed masterpieces on Prospect Street's asphalt canvas while,using chalk as their medium.
A remarkable entry for this year was -
'artists-in-action' beginning early Saturday morning, and ending late Sunday afternoon. The Italian Street paintings artists created masterpieces that was a must-see attraction.... I didn't miss that!!!
Another special attraction was the Abstract Alley, who made it's first-time appearance at the faire. Located on School Street, i loved and wandered among the larger-than-life abstract sculptures created by the father and son team, Phillip & Chad Glashoff from Suisun Valley.It was amazing !!!
Also on Sunday, festival attendees strolled down memory lane by enjoying the festival's Classic Car Show. Whether you're a fan (or not) of classic woodies, antique autos, race cars, luxury rides, or pimped-out hot rods, this part of the festival was totally fun-filled.
Another opportunity was the Lincoln Motors display on Church Street and an added surprise was to take a free test-drive and receive a $15 gift certificate good toward purchases made at the Lincoln Lounge, on Hartz near School Street, or at McGah's Pub & Pianos on East Prospect Avenue.
Entertainment again this year was presented by three street corner musicians stationed throughout the festival along Hartz Avenue. A wide variety of music to suit your fancy, which included performers like: Kenya Baker- guitar; Heartstrings-Mandolin & guitar and Aryeh frankfurter & Lisa Lynne-Celtic Harps.
