Art Experience

Art Walk:

The Art Walk was in the town of Greenville, IL. Some of the exhibits happened on Greenville’s campus in the gallery of the Maves art building while other exhibits were held in downtown Greenville.

The event took place on the weekend of September 19-20. I attended the event on Friday night, September 19.

I attended the event with Laura Mullen and Ryan Strohm.

When my friends and I arrived at the Art Walk, it just got started. The venders were set up and ready to sell all the art they worked hard making. Laura and I took a picture with a man’s piece of art. The picture that he made was a painting. The geographic shapes and bright colors of the work intrigued us, so we asked if we could take a photo of it. While people were looking and buying the art, there was great music playing on the square. The Greenville College band was playing a swing song and there was a couple dancing in the street to the music. We smelled the different scents of all the food that was being freshly made. Some of the food that we were tempted to buy were the freshly baked cookies and pastries. We could tell that everyone that participated in the event had been planning it for a long time. It was well organized and the people seemed to be enjoying themselves. Since it was my first time experiencing the art walk, I was pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere and would go back next year to see the new art that is presented.
