Chatsworth's First West End Artwalk was a great success last year. The community welcomed the Devonshire Street event, the participating businesses in the "Shops at West End" group were pleased with the public response, and the exhibiting artists all felt it was a very positive experience.
Beginning in June 2013 and continuing into September, with three featured "Final Friday of June, July and August events," the first of which was held on June 28th, many CFAC artists will be exhibiting this year at the various West End Shops. It is the intention of the Shops at West End group to make the Summer Artwalk an annual event and the Chatsworth Fine Arts Council intends to continue to be actively involved with the organization and presentation of the West End Art Walk. Above is a picture from the first very successful June 28th event. Two more chances coming up to share the experience!

We all look forward to a wonderful summer!
