The Town of Carleton Place is celebrating its 200th anniversary in 2019 and Arts Carleton Place (ACP) is joining the celebration with a few new twists to its Spring Fine Art Show & Sale. There is no admission fee and lots of free parking. New in 2019, ACP’s own Peter Brown will be providing live piano music on Saturday afternoon.

Another twist is its new status as a ‘reviewed/juried’ show, predominantly showcasing wall art (oil, acrylic, aquarelle, charcoal, mixed media, watercolour, pencil art, photography, etc.). The venue can accommodate 30-34 artists. Booth sharing will be permitted. Artists can either find their own partner or work with ACP to find a good match. All kiosks are 8ft wide, 4ft deep and 6ft high. High quality jewelry, pottery, fused glass and other artisans will be included if space remains available.

The final new twist, an Art Show ‘Coffee House’. This event is open, by invitation only, to all ACP members, their friends and families. We look forward to invitees joining this ‘celebration of art’ on Friday evening, from 6:30pm to 9pm, to preview the artwork and socialize with the participating artists. Artwork will also be for sale. There is No Charge for admission to the ‘Coffee House’, although donations to the ACP Bursary Program will be cheerfully accepted.
