New Town in St. Charles is excited to announce that the annual Art & Wine Stroll is returning this Fall, with more artists and wine vendors than ever! The event, being held October 2 from 3:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m., started in 2015 as a way to give local artists an opportunity to show and sell their creative work. All proceeds from event tickets go to local art scholarships.
Funds from the last event, in 2019, went to the Orchard Farm School District Art Department, as well as scholarships to Brooke Borchart and Grace Galba.
Most items displayed at the event are available for purchase and many artists will be on-site.
“Each participating business will have two wine samples – many from E&J Gallo Winery. In 2019, we had 14 business participate (28 samples). Our goal for 2021 is to have participation from 15 businesses (30 samples),” explains Terri Steffes, owner of The Good Life, and one of the event’s coordinators.
Current business participants include: Newtopia Photography, Blind Ambition, Marsala's, Padavans, Domain Street Wine Bar, Rhythm Music, Retagged Chic, The Bridge Coffeehouse, the Well Haus, Magnolia Real Estate, Zephyr Hair, and The Vet Stop.
Tickets are $20 per person and include an etched wine glass. They can be purchased at Sponsor businesses or online at ArtAndWineStroll2021.brownpapertickets.com.
