First Ever Gold Coast Arts Fair is This Weekend

The Archangel Michael Church community is hosting an Arts & Antiques Fair—to be known as the Gold Coast Arts Fair (or GCAfair for short)—on Sunday, May 22 from 12pm-7pm, on their church campus, 100 Fairway Drive in Port Washington.

It's a perfect event for families, art aficionados, antique lovers, browsers and anyone interested in attending a unique event!

Painting Workshops: Who says you aren't creative?? When you decide you'd like to paint, you will likely encounter the art myth that it takes talent. Don't believe it The desire to learn to paint and enthusiasm are what you need more than anything else. The GCAfair is offering 60 or 90-minute painting workshops (for adults, teens, and families) throughout the day and taught by two professional artists, Dvora Troshane and Anna Frangoulis.

Vendors: an eclectic selection of products from oriental rugs, to decorative pieces for the garden to vintage and estate jewelry all at very competitive prices.
