Who doesn’t like to celebrate Fall? Western Ave studios and Lofts will be hosting their annual ARToberfest on October 3 and 4 from noon to 4 pm in the lofts garden parking lot, on the west end of the campus. Visitors will be able to park in the main parking lot and walk over to the outdoor market filled with artwork by local artists.

Since this is a two-day event, Artoberfest will also have two different food truck vendors on site. Chez Rafiki will serve Mediterranian dishes on Saturday and Lowell staple Gormley’s Cafe will have plenty of delicious food to satisfy your tastes buds. Visitors will be required to wear a mask and sanitizing stations will be set up throughout the venue. With these guidelines in place, the event should be a fun and safe opportunity to view and buy local art.
