About Queen Arts
Every Saturday, starting Sept 20 from 9-9:00 pm the Community Artists are hosting an open air Art Festival. We are outreaching to all artists to sell and publicly work on their hand-made artwork, crafts, jewellery, culinary arts, music, antiques and collectibles. All artists are also welcome to bring their guitars, paints, and costumes to the Queen to add to the very artistic atmosphere that will be created. The space is free with you Community Artist Members (10$) and you are welcome to throw your hat down.
To hold a space on Queen Street on any Saturday you must <register> either online or at the Celebrate Old Downtown Office at 4481 Queen St. Downtown Niagara Falls. See below for an enriched program which will truly bring Living Art to Queen Street every Saturday. The program includes the Creative Monarch Contest, on street DJ and dance-off, many free workshops, including Tarot Cards, figurative drawing, music and acting as well as free live body painting and hair colouring.
