Vendors will be set-up on the sidewalks in front of downtown businesses to showcase their items. The list of items offered include paintings, ceramics, jewelry, drawings, re-purposed home decor, photography, and much more.

 

In addition to the art on display, many activities and demonstrations will take place throughout the evening, such as live music at multiple locations. 

​

The event is sponsored by the Jordan Agency, the Darke County Endowment for the Arts and Dave Knapp Ford Lincoln.

​

The committee, led by Susan Fowble, have volunteered their time to work with Main Street Greenville to create the event.

​

“The Artisan Stroll is one of our most anticipated First Friday events. The volunteer committee has spent countless hours planning another wonderful Friday night in downtown Greenville for all ages to enjoy," said Greg Billing, executive director of Main Street Greenville. "We appreciate all their hard work behind the scenes and look forward to seeing everyone downtown on August 5 to enjoy their efforts."

​

Flyers will be handed out the night of the event with the schedule and the locations of each vendor. Main Street Greenville will also post the information on its website and Facebook page to download or view before the event.

​

Main Street Greenville is also pleased to announce the return of the art contest to the Artisan Stroll! This juried contest is open to all accepted participants of the Artisan Stroll, although participation in the contest is not required to display your work at the Artisan Stroll.
