CARLETON PLACE RIVERFRONT ARTSCAPE

CARLETON PLACE RIVERFRONT ARTSCAPE

The Carleton Place Gallery is thrilled to invite you to participate in an exciting outdoor summer event, Carleton Place Riverfront Artscape. Riverfront Artscape, which debuted in August 2025, was such an enormous success that we decided to do it again. This outdoor art event in Carleton Place brought thousands of visitors, and promises to be even better this year. The Carleton Place Gallery looks forward to hosting it again and having you with us.

Riverfront Artscape is NOT an arts and craft fair, but a fine-art festival geared to art lovers and collectors. Space is limited at approximately 35 to 40 tents. There will be a few food vendors and live music on site and we anticipate the best weather and thousands of visitors.
