ArtWalk 2011, held on Fayetteville's historic square, experienced increased crowds, great weather (although a little windy) and an expanded music program.
ArtWalk has steadily grown each year in terms of artists and crowds, and this year continued the trend. A large tent was added this year to house the stage for music and the Artist Reception, at which the juried awards were presented.
Mark Chapman and Cheryl Mellenthin generously donate the funds for the awards, and Mark personally presented the awards to the artists.
