The Artist’s Association of Greenstreet Arts has announced three Art Cafés for the holiday season. Plan on joining Greenstreet artists during these fun open houses for an evening of fun events and spectacular art.
The Fall Festival Art Café will be held on Saturday, October 27 from 7-9 p.m. and features two exciting new events, a Jack-o-Lantern Auction and “The Bakers’ Show” and a silent auction of artist-decorated pumpkins. Do you want a Jack-o-Lantern to help celebrate the season, but don’t want to_carve your own? You’re in luck! Jack-o-Lanterns carved and/or otherwise decorated by Greenstreet artists will be available for purchase during a silent auction during this year’s Fall Festival Art Café. Pumpkins donated by The Bossard Family Farm, 269-781-4905, the Black Cat Pumpkin Patch 269-781-4970 and Avalon Farms 269-207-3047 will be painted, carved or otherwise decorated for this event. Stop by and see all the clever andcreepy creations pick your favorite and place a bid! Advanced orders for carved pumpkins featuring your business logo or specific image are also being taken at this time. Please call Kim Thompson at 269-967-1987 for more information or to place your order.
Also featured during the Fall Festival Art Café is culinary artist Jeff Ver Duin who will be hosting “The Bakers’ Show.”
Ver Duin is attending the Peter Seccia School of Culinary Arts in Grand Rapids pursuing a Baking & Pastry Certificate. In his first semester, our aspiring chef is knee deep in flour and sugar, learning the art of pastries, sauces, breads, pies and cakes. A banquet table set with these culinary delights will include the bakery products of both Ver Duin and his fellow students attending the school. Although there is not a charge for the Fall Festival Art Café, there will be a $5 admission charge to sample the delights of “The Bakers’ Show.” This culinary premiere is a fantastic addition to the sensory delights of the Art Café.
Art Cafés are also planned for Friday, November 30 during the Retail Open House and on Saturday and Sunday, December 8 and 9, during the Marshall Historical Society’s Christmas Candlelight Tour. Plan now to add Greenstreet Arts to your evening’s activities on each of these nights.
Greenstreet Arts is located at 115 E. Green Street, directly across from the Marshall Middle School. The gallery is open Thursday to Sunday each week, from noon to 6 p.m. Please call (269) 789-2379 for more information about these events, or visit www.greenstreetarts.com.
Carve Your Jack-o-Lantern at Greenstreet Arts
Join the artists of Greenstreet Arts on Friday, October 26 starting at 7pm to carve your Jack-o-Lantern, or to watch the artists carve up some whimsical creations. Instead of carving your pumpkins at home - bring them, your tools and your ideas and carve as a community during this evening of fun and entertainment. The public is encouraged to join the Greenstreet Arts Gallery for this free-of-charge event. Due to the nature of this event, children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult. The artists of Greenstreet Arts will be carving pumpkins that night for the Jack-O’Lantern Auction to be held the following evening, Saturday, October 27 from 7-9pm. Pumpkins donated by the Bossard Family Farm 269-781-4905, the Black Cat Pumpkin Patch 269-781-4970 and Avalon Farms 269-207-3047 will be painted, carved or otherwise decorated for this silent auction.
Stop by during the Art Café on Saturday evening to see all the clever creations and place a bid on your favorite!

Greenstreet Arts in Marshall Offers Great Opportunity
To Area Professional Artists
Greenstreet Arts in Marshall has some great opportunities for professional artists
in the area. The organization has recently negotiated a short term lease with the Shops
at Garden Theatre in downtown Marshall.
Any exhibiting member of Gallery 115 at Greenstreet Arts may exhibit and sell
her/his work in a Gallery on Michigan Avenue on a commission-only basis for the
months of November and December 2007. This is available for the members of
Greenstreet Arts only.
To inquire about the possibility of becoming a member please contact Scott
Buttrick at 269.986.4408 or e-mail him at scott@scottbuttrick.com.
Another opportunity to sell their work is being made available to members of
Greenstreet Arts this holiday season. The Marshall Historical Society has offered one of
the large trees to Greenstreet Arts to decorate with the art of its members. The
decorations will be priced and available for purchase by visitors to the Honolulu House
throughout the holiday season.
This creates a unique tree for the museum and another outlet for the artists. For
additional information on this project please call Kim Thompson at 269-967-1987 or
e-mail her at k_t_did_it@yahoo.com.
