Three Forks Marketplace presents the Second Annual Watertown Art Crawl on Saturday, August 28 from 6 until 9 p.m. Event organizers are promising a fun, eclectic event while raising funds for a very worthy cause - New Leash On Life, a local not-for-profit animal welfare organization. The event is also sponsored by Nashville Lifestyles magazine, Royce Belcher, CPA and Holiday Auto Mart, Inc.
Event attendees will enjoy live music, food and drinks while strolling the historic and charming public square of Watertown. The Art Crawl will offer a vast assortment of art, ranging from paintings, photography, jewelry, pottery, woodwork, quilts and glass, just to name a few. Art demonstrations will also be performed throughout the event, and the evening will be capped off with a special live auction at 8 p.m. with Michael Walker of United Country Realty and Auction presenting several unique pieces to the highest bidders. The 2009 inaugural event drew nearly 500 attendees. Event organizers hope to draw even more attendees this year and raise funds for homeless animals in Middle Tennessee.
Participating galleries and shops displaying art will include: LuLu's Coffee House, Lew's Creation Station, Kake Haus Pastry Shop and Thornton Metal Studio. Food and wine will also be provided by Kake Haus Pastry Shop, LuLu's Coffee House and Mad House Wine Cellars.
Event tickets are $20 in advance or $100 in advance for groups of six and $25 at the door. Admission includes wine, live music, art demonstrations, appetizers and access to the live and silent art auction. Tickets may be purchased online at www.newleashonline.org/artcrawl.
