Arts @ Marina enjoys perfect weather for 32nd event

Perfect weather made for a beautiful collaboration between arts, music and food over this past weekend at Leamington’s Rick Atkin Park

Arts @ the Marina, a by-donation event, serves as a major fundraiser for expenses incurred at the Leamington Arts Centre (LAC).

LAC Director/Curator Chad Riley, a key organizer of this event, provided some thoughts about the weekend festivities saying, “We are making use of the whole park with over 80 vendors in attendance. There are a lot of different types of artists here, along with seven live music acts and a number of food vendors. We’re a not-for-profit organization and the funds from this really help with the programs and activities offered throughout the year at the LAC.”
