Artwalk this Saturday in Montrose

The Montrose-Verdugo City Chamber of Commerce will be hosting the third Artwalk of the year this Saturday, Sept. 15 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. We have many new artists who will be displaying their work this weekend plus many of your favorites who you have come to know and love will be there as well. All artwork is original to the artist. We have various artists representing many genres in the art world: watercolor, oils, acrylics, etchings, photographers, collagists and more. There will once again be music playing for you to enjoy.

While you are in Montrose you can have lunch at one of the many restaurants in town, have an ice cream cone and browse all the wonderful shops on Honolulu Avenue. It’s a great family outing! Plan on dropping by the new businesses to see what they have to offer.

Don’t forget the Montrose-Verdugo City Chamber of Commerce’s 1st Annual Family Bowling Night on Thursday, Sept. 20 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Montrose Bowl.

You can register as a team or as an individual to be placed in a team with other individuals. If you do not specify your team we will put you onto one. There will be a 50/50 cash raffle.
