BEGINNING SEPT 21 THROUGH OCT 7, more than 60 artists created the main attraction for Windows on Main Street. Storefront windows previewed 30 artists from this year’s local Studio Tour. As well many talented students and guests from all over the Kawartha Lakes who were showcased.

Lindsay’s downtown Kent Street West played host to a three week festival of visual art, sound and activity in support of the local Studio Tour and downtown Kent Street retail.
Sept 21 – Oct 7, at Home Hardware, 207 Kent Street West
(across from Victoria Park), during regular store hours
From celebrities and special guests to tourists and local residents, everyone was invited to drop in to Home Hardware, pick up a brush and add their perspective to the giant Windows canvas. We watched the Paint Jam! page for times and dates of special guest appearances. At the end of three weeks – we beheld a masterpiece!
We invited people to MARK THEIR CALENDARS! Get up off the couch, away from the computer and join the activity on Kent Street West. Interact. Stroll the Walk of Art, view The Artists and discuss the studios they may wish to visit. Sample restaurant and café delectables. Discover the retail shops, the interesting people behind them and take advantage of fall season specials. Interact with retail/art workshops. Enjoy the music and magic of buskers while they mixed, mingled and met new people.
ONE INTERACTIVE EVENT NOT TO BE MISSED!!
