Hosted by the Winthrop Area Chamber of Commerce, the Sidewalk Art Show features many high-quality artists and draws attendees from throughout the region. This year an array of artwork has been expanded to include fabric, leather, metal, and wood in addition to the traditional categories of oil paintings, watercolors, photography, and other works of art on display. The art festival is complemented by many other activities held in Winthrop, including the library book sale, church bake sales and luncheons, and numerous specials at local merchants.
