Downtown Guelph - art on the street festival

Did you see the promo postcards and poster for the event? What a neat and truly artful graphic! I agree with the ranter that wrote the Echo about the importance of highlighting local talent versus selections like the cover feature they did run, on Magneta Lane...

NQ Arbuckle performed a good hot set -- so enjoyable their performance alone was worth the trip downtown. Smoothly promoting their merch for sale and upcoming gigs, while kids danced and adults grinned in appreciation. 'Should we do our trippy 7 minute song?' was asked right before they launched into a terrific Band Tribute type song to close out their alloted time, yeehaw time flies when yer having fun!

What a great way to spend a fantastic Saturday! The Downtown Guelph, the Art on the Street event featured over 100 artists, great music (Royal wood, NQ Arbuckle & Magneta Lane) as well as a sidewalk sale, sidewalk chalk displays and other random acts of art!
