 “Our community has an abundance of wonderful artists from many disciplines. Maplewood strongly supports the arts and together with the Alliance we are working to ensure that a wide variety of artistic skills are showcased at this event. Over 20 of our local merchants get involved as well, so the day combines the best of our local arts and business community,” says Julie Doran, District Manager of the Maplewood Village Alliance.
