This week Destination ARTS! is sooooo BIG that we could not hide it. So we decided to just put it out there in the street. Back by popular demand, STREET MUSIC ! Six full galleries of ARTS and Entertaiment just for your enjoyment. Come Downtown and see what the fuss is about. Don’t forget about “Wine Down Friday!”
This special “Destination ARTS!” weekend marks the beginning of our second full year of operation. Join us for the launch of another 15-week run of artwork, live music and a variety of special events in downtown Waynesboro. Starting on Friday night, six galleries will be open each week from Thursday through Sunday, with entertainment and other activities planned inside and out on the sidewalks.
