The Stonington Borough Merchants Association is hosting its one-day outdoor art fair, the Sixth Annual Art Walk, to include more than 80 artists with music and food.

The Art Walk, free to the public, will take place 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Sept. 14, with a rain/wind date of Sept. 15, and it is expected to attract artists and visitors from across New England.

Water Street between High Street and Church Street will be closed for the day to accommodate the event. Painters, illustrators, watercolorists, sculptors, potters, and photographers will line the street with tents. Artists will be tucked into courtyards and placed at storefronts stretching down to Cannon Square. New this year are additional food vendors, artists painting en plein air on Wadawanuck Square, and a play at the Lighthouse Museum.

Affiliated activities will take place in support of the Art Walk, including but not limited to:
