MONTVILLE-BASED creative group, Arts Connect Inc. have received Council approval to stage monthly art events on the Montville Village Green. Having been trialled over the last year Artists on the Green will now be held on the second Saturday of each month from 8.30 am to 3pm. A diverse range of local artists will demonstrate and sell their work under colourful canopies in the heart of Montville.
Visitors will find potters, painters, jewellers, sculptors happy to demonstrate and talk about their work. Joined by doll makers, textile artists, illustrators, leather workers and even a scrimshaw worker, an interesting variety of genuine local art can be found at Artists on the Green.
The Village Green is part of the Montville Heritage Precinct found at the top of town alongside St Mary’s Church and the Village Hall.
The same Saturday each month a local produce market is run in the Village Hall where visitors can purchase farm fresh food, locally made breads and cheeses, condiments, plants and lots more. As a fundraiser to support the Montville Hall and Sports Ground residents serve yummy pancakes and Montville coffee from 7.30am and organic BBQ sausages for lunch.
The Montville Chamber of Commerce has co-ordinated a program of buskers each Saturday bringing together a wonderful show of cooperation within the Village.
