Paint Avondale
Each September the Avon River Arts Society and Avon River Heritage Society play host to Paint Avondale, a spirited open air painting event, which takes place along the historic waterfront in Newport Landing.
A part of our successful Artisans in Action series, this event is sure to bring many people out to interact with our local artists, while exploring our community.
For the duration of the event the Avon Spirit Shipyard will be converted into a pop-up gallery where participating artists can display and sell their work. A volunteer will be on hand to process sales, with 100% of proceeds going back to the artist.
Artists interested in participating can contact us by email at infoavonriver@gmail.com or telephone (902) 757-1718. The fee to participate is $25 per artist.

Unfortunately our facility was closed to the public for the 2020 season but we look forward to reopening in the summer of 2021. We are adapting all of our regular events with a focus on virtual delivery and outdoor, open air activities. Over the next few months we will be dedicating time towards making our museum and gift shops' entire collections accessible online. As the warmer months approach we look forward to sharing some of our other ongoing community projects via social media, follow along with us as we adapt and grow! facebook.com/AvonRiverHeritage
