Riverwalk Landing will turn into an extraordinary indoor/outdoor art gallery from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, September 29, for Yorktown’s 13th annual Art Stroll. Approximately 50 regional artists will put their artistic talent on display along Water Street, as well as inside and behind the Yorktown Freight Shed. Visitors will find a wide range of art for sale including oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings, pottery, photography, jewelry, sculpture, mosaics, painted furniture, and mixed media.
Not only is the public invited to visit the artists and learn more about their inspiration, but they can also participate in an annual community painting project—a blank canvas set out for attendees to complete.
Enjoy a special musical performance on the Riverwalk Landing stage from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. by Audio Portrait, an acoustic harmony trio that covers songs from the `60s through today.
While you’re in town, head up to Main Street to view more artistic offerings at the Gallery at York Hall. Paintings, pottery, jewelry, stained glass, quilts, and other pieces from local artists are available for purchase.
Many Historic Yorktown restaurants are open both during and after the event, including Ben & Jerry’s, Carrot Tree Kitchens, Little York Confectionery, Mobjack Coffee Roasters and Petite Cafe, Riverwalk Restaurant, Umi Sushi, Water Street Grille, and the Yorktown Pub.
Free parking is available at the Riverwalk Landing Parking Terrace, York Hall, York-Poquoson Courthouse, County Administration Building, and other designated public parking lots in town. The Yorktown Trolley will start its run early that morning to provide complimentary service from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
This event is free, open to the public, and held rain or shine.
