It’s hard to believe, but the Arts & Crafts Walk is THIS SATURDAY, July 6! To help you plan your day, we’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions about the Walk:
How long is the Arts & Crafts Walk route?
The route is roughly 2.2km, spanning from The Clark Gallery in Clarksburg to Little Beaver Park in Thornbury.
Where should I start my Walk?
You can start anywhere! To fully experience the event, we encourage you to start your adventure in either downtown Thornbury or downtown Clarksburg and stroll your way to the opposite village. Downtown locations have participating spots to explore, maps, and more.

Participants are located along Bruce Street and Marsh Street, forming a single route from Thornbury to Clarksburg. Participants include individual shops, restaurants, galleries, as well as artists and artisans set up in businesses or on the front lawns of homes and churches.

Exhibit Reception: The Art of Quilts & Early Canadian Furniture
July 6 | 2pm-4pm
Opening July 6 is an exhibit that unites furniture and quilts into a stunning display! Make sure to stop by The Gallery to meet our featured artists and enjoy some refreshments.
Beautiful quilting works of all shapes and sizes have been designed and made by members of the Georgian Quilters' Guild, who take delight in all the components of quilt making: fabric, pattern, colour, and texture. Complementing this display is a collection of 19th-century painted Canadian furniture from Danfield Antiques and Art. These museum-quality pieces showcase techniques that brightened early homes.
