Anne Cornell from the Pomerene Center for Arts, which operates the artPARK, is excited to have this new event there.
“The artPARK was designed for community use,” she said. “The antique fair goes right up that alley. We are hopeful that this event sets a precedent, and we invite anyone, any organization, to get in touch with us if they are interested in following suit.”
