Doylestown Art Days: What You Need to Know

The second annual Doylestown Art Days celebration is underway. Festivities go through Sunday.

During the Art Days event, about 80 of Doylestown’s merchants will be paired with more than 100 local artists, including painters, photographers, musicians, performers and more. The self-guided walking tour will include maps that will be available for pick-up at the Doylestown Bookstore, Patricia Hutton Galleries and Siren Records.

“Each place of business is featuring selected artists and their work, bringing support and attention to the arts and commerce in Doylestown, a community which embraces the visual and performing arts. The town is being turned into one giant art gallery,” event organizers tell Patch.
