6 th annual circle of art

There was so much to see and experience on a fine July Saturday as the very popular Circle of Art returned to enthusiastic crowds on July 16, 2022. Pictures show the variety of work by artists and artisans who enjoyed showing and selling their creations at the centre of Crystal Beach, Queens Circle. Shady trees provided a cool atmosphere and business was brisk and prizes were awarded for viewers' favourites. Door prizes, donated by local businesses were given away. The event was sponsored by The Friends of Crystal Beach through OLG funds and a donation from the Erion Insurance Group office in Crystal Beach. Photos below are from Rick Doan, the official photographer of the Circle of Art. We'll add more pictures on a supplementary page soon. So many great photo sent in and so appreciated. Thanks to everyone who helped make this event a success.
