The Art Walk Huntingdon committee is thrilled to announce a community partnership that will offer free shuttle service around Art Walk venues during the January and February events. Maidens Taxi Service of Huntingdon will be running a regular route with the company’s van picking up and dropping off riders at or near all 12 Art Walk Huntingdon participating businesses. This service is made possible through a community grant from Standing Stone Coffee Company.
“We wanted to offer this service, especially during the coldest months of the year to make sure that people wouldn’t be afraid of the weather, and would still come and experience the arts in Historic Huntingdon,” said Matt Price, member of the Art Walk Huntingdon committee of Huntingdon Landmarks, Inc.
A map detailing the route can be found at the following link: shuttle-map_pdf. The shuttle service is totally free and will start around 6:00 PM and continue making the loop until 8:00 PM on Thursday, January 19, 2017.
Art Walk Huntingdon will take place on the third Thursday of every month with the next one on January 19, 2017 during the hours of 5:00-8:00 PM.
The event is an open house format with no defined start or end point. Each particpating venue will host an art related special event, performance, or activity. Don’t worry if you can’t make it everywhere…there is always next month!
