Your Input for Artswalk, please?

Despite fears of rain, we ended up having an awesome night at ArtsWalk in Henderson tonight.  Many of our vendors didn't show up for fear of being rained on, but the brave 14 who came had a great time and enjoyed some seriously good traffic thanks to the middle school musical performance set up in the amphitheater next door.  The next ArtsWalk is scheduled for November 18th.  As always, information is available here:  www.HendersonArtswalk.com

The event is now under new leadership through the Water Street Business District Association and we are considering some changes for the event.  As one of the event co-chairs, I have some input in these changes and want to ask for the team's feedback.  Please let me know your positive or negative reaction to the following:

We are considering moving the event to Friday night so that we can benefit from the traffic that will be coming to the Friday night ArtBeat series.  We're hoping that both putting this event on a weekend and coinciding with another major draw for crowds, our vendors will see much more traffic than they have in the past.  We would keep the same hours - 5 to 8pm.  The weekly Farmer's market next to our event would also be moved to Friday and extended to meet our hours so we can benefit from their traffic as well.

We're also interested in making this a weekly event.  We would hold it every Friday in good weather.  However, we wouldn't have vendors during the extreme hot or cold months (Jan, Feb, July, and Aug) since no one attends outdoor events in such extreme weather.

I'm very optimistic about ArtsWalk and have a lot of non-team members participating in the event as well.  We are going to try and keep it at $5 vendor fee regardless of any changes in schedule.

Check it out!
