The Visual Arts Centre of Clarington (VAC) is celebrating the local art community by showcasing artistic talent from Clarington and beyond.

Slated for September 28 and 29, the 2nd annual Clarington Outdoor Art Festival will see artists, artisans, musicians and food vendors take over the gallery grounds by Soper Creek Park.

Browse through the Art Market, participate in free tours of the VAC’s historic building and contemporary art exhibitions, or get their hands dirty with a live pottery demonstration. Exhibiting artists Z’otz* Collective will lead an interactive workshop for groups in our drawing and painting studio (details below). Hungry or thirsty? Enjoy a craft beer from Brock Street Brewing Company or grab a bite from Stuttering John’s Smokehouse.

“Being part of COAF is to be out in the community. It’s an opportunity for those not normally in Toronto or the province. The beautiful setting gives people an intimate space of conversation.”  - Artist vendor, COAF 2018
