Art at Your Feet Marks 14 Years in Blissfield

  

BLISSFIELD, MI -- The free public street art event, Art at Your Feet, takes
over South Lane Street in Blissfield on Saturday, August 20, 2022 at 9 am.
Presented by the Schultz-Holmes Memorial Library and sponsored by Chris
Mallow, DDS and Transcend Physical Therapy, Art at Your Feet brings together
artists of all ages and abilities to fill 5' x 5' street canvas squares
using a set of free chalk pastels.  Registration is required at the event to
reserve a square and receive a set of pastels.  

 

The event will run until 5 pm on Saturday, with the first block of South
Lane Street closed for the event from 5 pm the night before.  Anyone needing
more information should call the Schultz-Holmes Memorial Library at
517-486-2858, email artatyourfeet at blissfieldlibrary.org
<mailto:artatyourfeet at blissfieldlibrary.org> , or find Art at Your Feet on
Facebook.

 

In addition to the street artists, vendors will line the sidewalks selling a
variety of art and artisan items, while local businesses will offer special
promotions and activities.    Merchandise and gift certificates will be
offered in prize drawings throughout the day.  All event-goers can enter
prize drawings at the red registration tent near the downtown mini-park, but
winners must be present to claim prizes from drawings.  

 

The event will include a special kid's art area which requires no
registration and face painting from the Blissfield High School Varsity Cheer
Squad on a donation basis. A free souvenir photo booth will also be onsite.
Art at Your Feet will conclude with cash prizes of $50, $30, and $20 awarded
to three chalk artists chosen by event officials.  WLEN will broadcast from
Art at Your Feet between 8:30 am and noon.  JTE Acoustic Band will provide
live music from 1-3 pm.

 

The Schultz-Holmes Memorial Library currently holds over 30,000 volumes,
subscribes to 60 circulating magazines, actively pursues local history
materials, and provides free public-access computer and wireless internet.
The village library serves the townships of Blissfield, Ogden, Palmyra and
Riga by contract.  In addition to Art at Your Feet, the library offers a
busy summer reading program, the Taste the State program series, the
