The Girard Art Walk returns for its 5th year, transforming downtown Girard into a walkable, one-night-only arts festival. The event will feature nearly 40 artists from northwestern Pennsylvania and northeast Ohio, hosted inside 20 local businesses throughout the town.

In addition to visual art, attendees can enjoy various live music acts, an interactive drum circle, food trucks, and local beverages from Full Circle Winery, Twisted Elk Brewery, and Ironstone Meadery. Visitors can also participate in a raffle by collecting stamps at participating locations.

The event is free and open to the public. Artwork will be available for purchase directly from artists, who retain 100% of their sales.

STALL is a new, original play written by artist, author, playwright, and Meadville-native, Brenna Thummler. STALL tells a young woman’s story of identity, self-acceptance, and imaginary frienemies, set in a college dorm bathroom, animated with girl power. Fig is a talented young artist whose perfectionist tendencies and absurdist frienemy (friend/enemy) drive a wedge between Fig and her colorful cast of floormates. But make no mistake, this show will make you laugh. It’s like spending 90 minutes as a fly-on-the-wall in a college girls’ bathroom in a totally non-weird way.
