About the Eden Mills Arts Festival 

This year, join us on the weekend of May 26-27, 2012

The Eden Mills Arts Festival (formerly Art in Eden) is the weekend of May 26-27th this year. Art in Eden was started in 2001 by Eden Mills' artists Anna Simon, Lee Lang and Charlotte Reinhold and has been a successful annual spring event since 2006.  

The name change reflects the path we’ve chosen to include more than just the visual arts.  Eden Mills Arts Festival is looking forward to including music, dance, theatre and a host of other artistic genres.  We are also exploring hosting workshops with the many artists in Eden Mills.

Mark your calendars for the Eden Mills Art Festival.  This web site features directions to the event, participating artists and a gallery of their work.  Please have a look around using the navigation on the left-side menu and enjoy your visit!

The village is small so you can walk to all the studios, dip your feet in the mill pond and take the dog for a walk.

About Eden Mills

Eden Mills is a charming ancient village not 10 minutes east of the centre of Guelph on the Eramosa River.  There were several mills in the village a century ago and over the years there have been many businesses all of which are now gone except the old Coulson store which is now the In a Heartbeat Art Gallery. 

With over 20 visual artists, authors and artisans resident in the village it truly is a centre for the arts.  Eden Mills is also known for its “Eden Mills Going Carbon Neutral” program and the Eden Mills Writer’s Festival now in its 22nd year.
