Art Days
The Discover Doylestown Committee, part of The Doylestown Business and Community Alliance DBCA, in cooperation with local galleries, art organizations and The Doylestown Historical Society, is putting on an art extravaganza throughout the town of Doylestown from June 5 – 8, 2014.
Over sixty participating Doylestown merchants are being paired with local artists, students and professionals, painters, photographers, musicians and the performing arts for this four-day event. Each place of business is featuring selected artists and their work, bringing support and attention to the arts in Doylestown. Most of the art will be for sale with a portion of the sale price going to the DBCA to promote and support the event annually. The town is essentially being turned into one giant art gallery.
Artists to be featured have been selected by the various Doylestown Galleries as well as Bucks County Art Leagues and Associations, all three High School Photography and Music Programs, local Performing Arts Studios and Organizations and Photography Clubs.
In addition to their regular hours, the merchants as a community will have the art on display at least from 12 – 6pm daily. Many of the participants are planning various workshops, art demonstrations and performances throughout this long weekend. There will be artists to watch and meet, children’s activities, and music to enjoy. This event is a planned walking tour and maps, listing artists and special events, will be available at participating merchants prior to and during The Doylestown Art Days. Look for our colorful logo and poster in windows all over town, identifying your path to experiencing this wonderful art walk. The Doylestown DART buses will be available, making a few stops in and around Doylestown, including the Doylestown public and free parking garage on Broad Street, between Doyle and Union Streets. This will make parking an easy experience for your visit to Doylestown.
The weekend will conclude with a special celebration on Sunday, June 8th at The Doylestown Historical Society Park on 56 S. Main Street. A celebration will be held honoring of the 50th Anniversary of “Operation 64” which commemorates a time when the Doylestown community stood together to retain the integrity and value of its historical architecture. There will be music and food, art and community.
