“Visit the more than 30 artist and art gallery booths, view and purchase some amazing original works of art, as well as the art of our 2022 featured artist, Katrina Gorman,” information in an HCCArts press release stated. “Her one-of-a-kind fabric creations inspired the event poster and will be available for purchase.”

Attendees are encouraged to grab a glass of craft beer or local wine or a bite to eat from one of the event’s many vendors, as well as enjoy the live music that will be featured along the trail. Proceeds from the Art Waddle are donated to the Cibolo Center for Conservation for summer art camp scholarships.
