The first annual Funky Art Walk on Saturday at the Watch Factory Shoppes is a community event that will support local artists, said Funky Monkey owner Tracey Burrill who is hosting the day-long art fair.
"As we have grown, we've increased our capacity to host big events supporting artists and musicians," Burrill wrote. "So it seemed a natural extension for us to bring multiple artists and musicians together all at once for a fun, convivial event in our beautiful outdoor space."
Artists whose work will be on display include:
- Ellen Pliskin, a watercolorist and printmaker
- Kate Stephen, a jeweler
- Phoebe Hunt, graphic T-shirt creations
