In addition, the weekend offers live artists demonstrations; educational art activities, youth art award ceremonies, live music and entertainment, local food vendors, wine and food tastings/pairings and much more! The Gumtree Art and Wine Festival is designed to spark art patronage and conversation in the community in a time when art awareness is crucial. The Gumtree Art and Wine Festival committee is proud to offer this weekend event to our community free of charge.
