There's a meeting tonight at 6:30 at the Library. Plans are coming together. There are now over 50 artists participating. The food vendors are coming together. And entertainment has been lined up for a few venues along the walk. The walk will start at The Distillery Building and run down to City Hall with artists located in booths both outside and inside businesses along the route. Sponsors and volunteers are still needed. Please contact artonthebluffs@hotmail.com for more information on participating as an artist, non-profit group, volunteer or sponsor.

SO WHAT'S THE ART ON THE BLUFFS ART WALK?

Columbia's first annual art walk is scheduled for Saturday, October 3rd.  The walk will cover a few blocks of downtown Columbia along Main Street and possibly some side streets.  Artists, most from the greater St. Louis area, will display their works inside various businesses along Main and in designated outdoor areas such as parking lots along Main Street.  In addition there will be entertainment venues set up along the walk, art demonstrations, a couple food courts, children's activities and participation by local businesses, such as a planned wine tasting.  It promises to be a great family affair with fun for all ages.
