Calling all art lovers and friends of the Charles River! The Waltham Riverfest Committee invites you to Come for the Art and Stay for the Bidding on Saturday, June 12 at a reception and art auction featuring 'fresh' paintings, drawings, and photographs of the Charles River created earlier that day from Riverfest Artists Paint the River.
Also in attendance at the reception will be the Waltham Art Windows Artists and their Hosts!
The artists' reception, starting at 4pm, and the art auction, starting at 5:15pm, will be located at the Center for Digital Imaging Arts at Boston University, 274 Moody St., Waltham. Reception and art auction are free and open to the public. Municipal parking is plentiful.
Artists from Waltham, greater Boston and beyond will spend the day along the Charles River creating art inspired by this beloved and scenic river as it meanders through the heart of Waltham. These freshly created pieces - some will still be wet - will then be auctioned off to the highest bidder.
Before the auction, enjoy an artists' reception with food and wine from Waltham's famed 'Restaurant Row' on Moody St. Enjoy selections from: Tuscan Grill, Biagio, Maso's Kitchen, Coffee from More Than Words, Marcellino's, Solea Restaurant & Taps Bar, Little India, D&L Liquors, Gordon's Fine Wine & Liquors and more!
The Paint the River Art Auction is part of Waltham Riverfest, sponsored by the Waltham Cultural Council and the Downtown Waltham Partnership. Auction proceeds will support next year's Riverfest and community cultural events.
