Attendees can enjoy festive themed treats, drinks along with youth driven creativity in a welcoming, family-friendly setting. Admission is $10 per person, with proceeds going towards the Every Breakfast Counts program.
“The Autumn Art Festival is an opportunity to celebrate the creativity and spirit of the community’s youth,” said Mayor Matthew Shoemaker. “I encourage everyone to attend, support local youth artists and take part in what promises to be a fun afternoon.”
Submissions from local artists aged 13 to 25 are still being accepted. Interested youth are encouraged to email myac@cityssm.on.ca.
