It all happens in the Iris Grove Site of MacGregor Point Park’s Huron Campground where, on the weekend of September 15 and 16, festival artists and artisans will display and sell their paintings, watercolours, collages, sculptures, stained glass, photography, pottery, jewellery, woodworking and more. Some Vendors will be offering various workshops as well.

In a media release, this year Wild for the Arts will give a record number of artists and artisans the opportunity to share and sell their work, outdoors, surrounded by MacGregor Point's autumn beauty.

Wild for the Arts is more than just an art festival in the woods. It also consists of live entertainment and workshops all weekend long.

On Saturday and Sunday morning, Artist-in-Residence David Doyle will conduct a free hands on experience using watercolours on a variety of papers. Registration is limited to 15 per day and can be done by emailing wildforheart@gmail.com.

Writer-in-Residence David Beverly-Foster and his guitar will recount his 12 day, 200 kilometre trek following the Grand River, that became his new book “Walking Home", his tale of travelling on foot the 200 kilometres from Waterloo to near Chesley. Andrew Armitage called Walking Home “a heck of a good book."

Songstress Madison Galloway will entertain with her signature style of folk-rock and blues, capturing the ears and hearts of her audience with guitar, harmonica and ukulele in an energetic performance.

Buskers will be about and the folks from Blackboard Sound will be on hand with ukulele demonstrations and lots more.

Face painting and a children’s playground, Kid’s Creativity Programs, an Artist’s Adventure Trail, Interpretive Programs and stories about Cultural Sharing are happening on both days.

Weekend park admission is free. The Campsite Studio Tour runs Saturday, September 15 and Sunday, September 16, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Iris Grove Sites of Huron Campground at MacGregor Point Park. Visit facebook.com/wildforthearts or email wildforthearts@gmail.com for more information.
