White Haven’s inaugural Art Walk

WHITE HAVEN, LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Elsewhere in Luzerne County, the arts are getting a little love and appreciation thanks to an inaugural event.

The White Haven Chamber of Commerce hosted its first-ever art walk.

Nearly two dozen artisan vendors set-up shop at four different sites across the borough including at White Haven Library.

The art restoration business Trinity Artisans and White Haven Borough Building.

Organizers say it puts a spotlight on artists and attendees seemed to like what they saw.

“My sister-in-law asked me if I wanted to go to an art walk and I said that sounds like fun. I wanted to come see some of the nice art that they had and I did enjoy that,” said Gail Hassay.

“Normally, you know, I have to travel to find venues for my work and it’s awesome to see that there are new venues emerging, say, in my neighborhood practically,” says Del Casterline the local artist glassmaker.

Organizers say they had more attendees than expected and plan to come back even bigger and better next year.
