(KAIR) -- The Atchison Area Chamber of Commerce has announced the cancelation of the annual Atchison Art Walk, originally scheduled for April 26.
The organization will instead focus on supporting and promoting new events organized by the Atchison Art Association.
The Art Walk was originally organized to replace the Riverbend Art Fair, which disbanded after nearly 40 years in Atchison.
The Atchison Art Association has two events scheduled for April 26-27.
Pop-Up Body Art, scheduled for April 26 in downtown Atchison, features a 20 art sculptures that will pop up all over town for the day.
The Art Association describes the event as “a traveling exhibit of public art produced and sponsored by our community that promotes social interaction and civic dialogue through a visual message to the community.”
On Saturday, April 27, the Atchison Art Association will present the first Open Air Fair from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the Atchison Riverfront.
The event presents a fresh approach to the exchange of ideas, innovations and creation in a European-style market on the riverfront.
The Open Air Fair will feature booths by artists/artisans, farmer/growers and vintage and repurposed items, along with performance art, music, classes and demonstrations from artists.
