Face of the Fenton Art Walk: Greg Zafiroff

The is just around the corner.

On June 24 from 4:30 to 8 p.m., 30 merchants and more than 50 artists will participate in the inaugural event, and officials are hoping hundreds of residents will join the fun.

Visitors will be able to come to a booth in downtown Fenton and receive an artist passport, which will include instructions along with artist and merchant information. People then can visit participating businesses to observe the art, meet the artists and explore what each store has to offer.

To get you ready for the event, we will feature several artists in our Faces of the Fenton Art Walk series in the days leading up to the extravaganza.
