• 2:03
  day.
• 2:04
  This will be the first time studios are hosting live music along with the event.
• 2:08
  The L&A Studio Tour gives participants the chance to meet artists in their studios and
• 2:12
  homes, learn about their artistic process and purchase new artwork from the artists.

  The event features over 32 artists located in 17 studios throughout the county.
• 2:21
  The L&A Studio Tour is a self-guided tour leading through rural areas with historic

  towns, villages and hamlets.
• 2:28
  Amanda Lloyd, one of the owners of the Hive Artist Collective in Bath, notes the four
• 2:32
  members they'll be featuring in their studio.
• 2:35
  The L&A Studio Tour is really cool.
• 2:37
  So they have over 30 artists a part of that program.
• 2:42
  And so only four of the Hive members will be showing in our gallery.
• 2:47
  So you'll really get a chance to see a little bit more from myself, Amanda Lloyd, David
• 2:54
  Slack, Lisa Leskin and Shannon Dickey.
• 2:57
  Lloyd describes the rest of the weekend and where to find other artists in the county.
• 3:01
  The rest of the tour you'll be able to see other Hive artists in their actual studios
• 3:08
  and other artists, local artists in their studios from NapaNee and from Amherstview,
• 3:16
  Bath.
• 3:17
  It's a really, really cool, fun weekend to kind of take a local adventure.
• 3:25
  Lloyd notes some of the fun activities happening in the studios throughout the tour.
• 3:29
  You get to meet the artists and all of them have different cool things running in their
• 3:32
  studios like Little Raffles and Giveaways.
• 3:35
  And a lot of the studios have music.
• 3:38
  We have music all day, which is really cool for both days, Saturday and Sunday.
• 3:42
  Lloyd describes the welcoming nature of artists in their studios.
• 3:45
  All the artists just love chatting about their art.
• 3:48
  So it's always fun to have people come in and, you know, we get a chance to talk to
• 3:55
  the community and get to know us.
• 3:57
  And yeah, we just want to be, we just want to share.
• 4:00
  That's all we want to do.

  The first ever Bath Art Fest is taking place Saturday, September 14th, hosted by the Hive
• 4:22
  Artist Collective in Centennial Park.
• 4:25
  Over 30 artists will be featured from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. alongside live music.
• 4:29
  One of the owners of the hive, Amanda Lloyd, explains how the day will be set up.
• 4:33
  We're setting it up a little differently than other art festivals.
• 4:36
  We're calling it kind of like a home village vibe.
• 4:39
  So all of the tents are going to be on the perimeter of the park and facing the center.
• 4:44
  And then in the center is going to be the music.
• 4:47
  We're going to have this painting for kids.
• 4:49
  We have a big raffle.
• 4:50
  Most of the Hive artists have donated a piece to be raffled off.
• 4:55
  Lloyd described some of the other types of vendors that will be at the event.
• 4:58
  We have jewelers.
• 4:59
  We have ceramists.
• 5:00
  We have potters.
• 5:02
  We have some fabric artists, too, who are going to be there.
• 5:06
  So you can shop your heart's content there and then maybe wander down into the village
• 5:11
  for some coffee and some food and some more shopping experience.
• 5:17
  Lloyd explains the experience they hope to create and notes some of the local businesses
• 5:21
  involved.
• 5:22
  It's a village day.
• 5:23
  That's what we just want everyone to come out and hang out at the village.
• 5:26
  We want to hang out by the water to bring the kids down.
• 5:28
  We really want people to come in, check out local artists, but then take a stroll down
• 5:35
  to the village because you wouldn't be able to run this without the businesses who kind
• 5:41
  of have sponsored us.
• 5:43
  So we're hoping people will go down to the commons, books on Maine, the Lodge for Coffee.
• 5:49
  Lloyd also noted they hope to make it an annual event.
• 5:52
  Bath Art Fest will take place rain or shine.
