Historic Huguenot Street is excited to announce the return of Artists on the Street: A Plein Air Event, which will take place Saturday, August 1, from 11 AM to 4 PM. This year’s event will span the 10-acre National Historic Landmark District and will feature a dozen local artists, including Kevin Cook, Carolyn Edlund, Staats Fasoldt, Mira Fink, Emeline Hastings, Chris O’Neal, Mitchell Saler, Vaune Sherin, Joseph Sundwall, Fran Sutherland, and Marlene Weidenbaum, PSA-MP.
The HHS staff and volunteers have worked hard to prepare the site in order to welcome visitors back for one of its first public events since the March 2020 closure. Visitors can expect to see these talented, local artists painting live, treat themselves to plant-based tropical Italian comfort food from the Baba Food Truck, register to vote with volunteers from the League of Women Voters, and check in with HHS staff who can update them on the museum’s phased re-opening and pre-register them for other upcoming events.
Ensuring the health and safety of visitors is key, and as visitors walk the grounds, they will be asked to wear proper face coverings and practice appropriate social distancing of at least 6-feet. Hand sanitizer pumps will be available throughout the site. Visitors are also encouraged to leave their information with HHS for the purpose of contact tracing and may do so in various locations throughout the event.
Check out our end of day virtual exhibit by searching #AOTS2020 on your social media platforms to see each participating artist’s final works.
Registration for this event is free, but limited. Therefore, registration is required.
Please note, that social distancing and other common health and safety guidelines, such as wearing face covering when in public, will be strictly enforced at this event. We thank you for your understanding and for helping us stop the spread of COVID-19.
