A week after Good Friday and a few days before the IRS blitz, folks will be itching to kick up their heels, have some fun and hopefully buy that one-of-a-kind treasure.  And, ArtsisAlive is the destination to deliver.  This year, 85 artists will be displaying their wares, from the fantastic to the funky, on Friday, April 9 and Saturday, April 10 at The Cultural Center for the Arts in downtown Canton (1001 Market Avenue North). Vendors from four states will line the Great Court and the Canton Museum of Art with original jewelry, paintings, prints, glass, ceramic, wood, knitwear and things that we can’t even begin to define.  The Friday, April 9^th event (from 5 – 11 p.m.) is an all-out street party, themed around the Holiday Inn / Stuckey’s kitsch called “Greetings from ArtisAlive.”   Vendors will be dressed as tourists, waitresses and goodness knows what else, as the evening sparks with fun, food, libations and a full throttle of music from area entertainers.  Saturday’s show (from 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.) is more of the same – with admission from Friday (a reasonable $3) getting folks back in on Day 2. Live Paint! – featuring Joseph Close, Joe Martino, Erin Mulligan, Steve Ehret and David McDowell is a new “draw” this year, as artists will create pieces on Friday night and Saturday and offer them for SILENT AUCTION, from 3-5 p.m. on April 10.  Proceeds split between the artist and ArtsinStark. Complete details for ArtisAlive, including the line-up of vendors and performers, is available on www.ArtisAlive.com. ArtisAlive is hosted by ArtsinStark in cooperation with the Canton Museum of Art. Friday, April 9 5:00p.m. – 11:00 p.m. Saturday, April 10 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. $3 admission includes FREE Parking.
