The Artober event will include music, activities and opportunities for all ages to show off their artistic talents.There will be a giant “fridge magnet” board, where visitors will be encouraged to create poetry from hundreds of words that can then be attached to the board. A huge canvas will also be set up along Pineapple Grove where visitors will have the chance to show off their creative drawing or painting skills. The Kids Corner, hosted by Avenue Church, where children will have the chance to create sidewalk chalk art, ham it up in a photo booth or have their faces converted into works of art by a team of face painters. The musical arts will also be an important part of the Artober On The Ave with three performances, each representing a different style of music. Throughout the night, the locally bred band Mylo Ranger will perform its unique style of funk-infused nostalgic rock with a southern flavor.

For those who enjoy a little softer sound, Artober will feature Regi and Kimi, a pop acoustic indie-folk duo featuring two women whose music ranges from originals to covers, and includes a variety of pop, hip-hop and rock hits.  Enjoy a touch of classical music at the Artober On The Ave with the Lynn University Orchestra giving a performance – featuring a surprise element – beginning at 8 p.m. in front of the Paradise Salon in Pineapple Grove.
