2023 Art jam artists

Nineteen artists painted over the course of two days in Todos Santos Park during Creative Concord’s 2023 Art & Music Jam weekend. This activity was created to provide a platform for artists to connect with other artists and to work in a public setting that would gain them further exposure. Creative Concord is also very much about supporting local businesses and bringing great pride to the community as a whole.

Each painting went on sale after the event with 70% of the proceeds going to the artist and 30% going to a local charity of the artist’s choice.
