Testimonials

“I look forward to participating in Art Walk every year. It’s a wonderfully organized event, in a quintessential coastal village and I’m always honored to be among such incredible artists on a street filled with small businesses! I’m excited to be giving away 30 bud vases as part of The Glaze Vase Project this year, they will be tucked into public spaces for seekers to find throughout the Borough and the joy it brings me to share my work in this way and hear the stories of folks finding them is one of my favorite parts about the annual event! ”

“One of the very best one day shows I’ve done in 30 years of shows.”

“Top 10. Setting, customers and management were all the perfect recipe for a successful event.”

“I love the set up, the direction and support to set up, and everything else. I could name several other sucky ones I have done; no comparison.”

“I was impressed at how professionally it was run and the quality of the vendors and shoppers. Because I exhibit almost every weekend, I have a lot to compare it to and you could give lessons on how to put on a great show! It was very organized and the promoters and volunteers were exceptional. I would do it again in a heartbeat. ”

“I think it’s one of the best organized and promoted events I take part in.”

“Fabulous organization, well curated for fine crafted goods. This event far exceeds any other I’ve ever done as far as providing high quality graphics for marketing reposting. ”

“VERY well attended”

“I did more at this one day show than I sometimes do at a 2 day show. People were happy to spend at this show, and that has been down this year.”

“Organization, communication, location, number of people was all absolutely terrific!!! ”

“Thank you for an amazing day! One of the most organized and communicated shows I have attended in a long time. Perfect weather on the rain date and well attended.”

“I just wanted to say thank you to you and the team who organized and oversaw the Art Walk yesterday. It was a wonderful day and as a new vendor the response to my work was so positive. Thank you for taking the time to speak with me last week too and answer my questions. A lot of people I conversed with commented on how great the atmosphere, organization, and quality was at the Art Walk, which must be encouraging as I’m sure so much work went into it behind the scenes. Thank you again, and I hope to return next year,”

“I had the best day selling and showing my work at the Stonington Art Walk this past Saturday, I was so busy that I forgot to take any pictures of my booth! But of course I had to draw one of the pretty buildings of this cute town instead! 
I was so busy! It was a really great day! Thank you for having me!! I’ve done a few markets and shows but this one was the best so far!!”

“I just wanted to take a minute to say how much I enjoyed being an artisan vendor at Art Walk this year.  It was well organized, well attended and well run!  The event was very enjoyable, and after a busy day of interacting with customers, we packed up all our things, then walked over to a wonderful al fresco dinner at my favorite restaurant, Noah’s! If possible, please put me on your “list” for next year! ty!”

“The Artwalk is more than artists gathering to sell their beautiful creations. It’s a chance for folks to connect with art and one another and highlights the importance Stonington Borough attributes to art and artists as essential to community health and wellbeing.

Meandering through last year’s artwalk inspired me to write a play for it this year. I have teamed up with Historic Stonington to present “The Triad and The Map” a site-specific play for audiences who gather at the historic lighthouse.”
