Art & Wine Walk is June 16 Looking for something to do Saturday afternoons this summer? Enjoy the Art & Wine Walk Saturday, June 16, from 2 to 5 p.m. in downtown Grand Forks and East Grand Forks. Stroll through downtown and visit galleries, businesses, bars and restaurants to view art produced by regional artists, and sample wine. Artwork will be available for purchase, and artists will be on hand to discuss their work. The Art & Wine Walk begins at the Empire Arts Center, where maps can be purchased for $10. All ages are welcome to attend, and those over 21 will receive a wristband, allowing participation in wine tasting. At each participating business, the map will be stamped (wine consumption is not required to receive a stamp). Turn in the map at the end of the walk to enter a drawing for one of two gift baskets of prizes donated by participating businesses. Art & Wine Walk schedule, 2 to 5 p.m.: June 16, July 21, Aug. 18, Sept. 15, Oct. 20. For more information, or to participate as a hosting business or an exhibiting artist, contact the North Valley Arts Council at 777-6120 or info@novac.org. The Art & Wine Walk is sponsored, in part, by the Greater Grand Forks Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, Gilly’s Bar and Grill, and Clear Channel Radio. -- Nicole Derenne, Executive Director, North Valley Arts Council, nicolederenne@novac.org, 701-777-6120
