Tuesday, June 10, 2014

Saturday, June 14th 10AM-4PM at The Pinehills Village Green
Hello, Dear Friends!

We here at Laura’s Center for the Arts are huge fans of both art and the outdoors. And wouldn’t you know it, just as the weather is finally warming up the Pinehills in Plymouth is hosting its tenth annual Art on the Green event this Saturday, June 14th. 

Art on the Green will be featuring the work of more than 80 artisans spaced throughout five tents including painters, sculptors, jewelry designers, wood workers, weavers, photographers, and more.  The event will also showcase a new exhibition the Wicked Etsy Village where you can find local Etsy artists and shop owners selling handmade goods just in time for Father’s Day (wink, wink).

Decorate a tie for Dad in the Kids' Corner Tent.
The $5 donation goes to help The Home for Little Wanderers
Speaking of Father’s Day, the Kids' Corner Tent lets kids design a tie for Dad for just $5 or create an original masterpiece for $3.  And don’t forget to check out the free face painting!

Also, there are great dining options available including The Market’s a la carte BBQ sit-down lunch on the Al Fresco Dining Patio, Mama Mia’s express curbside tent or full dining options, East Bay Grille at Pinehills Golf Club for patio dining with stunning views of the driving range, and Rye Tavern for a gourmet brunch or dinner. Don’t forget to top it off with a stop at Let’s Scream 4 Ice Cream for a choice of 18 different ice cream flavors!

The event kicks off at 10AM and runs until 4PM with free parking, free shuttle service, and free music including steel band Magic of Steel and street teams from Boston area stations Radio 92.9, WROR 105.7 and Magic 106.7 

Free face painting in the Kid's Corner Tent!
I have been to this event every year for the past five years, and I’ve always found unique, high quality gifts and stunning (and affordable) works of art.  Even if you’re not shopping, the opportunity to talk to the artists about their craft is worth the trip. And I did mention it’s free, right?

So, I’ll see you this Saturday on the Village Green at the Pinehills. For more information check out the Pinehills website.


P.S. The weather is supposed to be gorgeous! So load the kids in the car and grab your sunscreen!
