Eat, Drink and Buy Art promotes arts destinations on Eastern Shore

An Eastern Shore alliance of businesses, Main Street groups, arts organizations, and tourism and economic development officials – known collectively as Tourism, Arts and Downtown Development (TADD) – is promoting nine communities in the region as arts destinations by encouraging visitors to Eat, Drink, and Buy Art on the Eastern Shore.

TADD has produced a 16-page brochure that highlights the unique aspects of each of the nine towns and includes eateries and arts resources. A complementary web site – EatDrinkBuyArt.com – provides a searchable database of artists, restaurants, galleries, shops and events.

The Eat, Drink, and Buy Art campaign, which runs through the December holiday season, also includes a “passport contest” that encourages visitors to come to the nine towns: Berlin, Cambridge, Chestertown, Easton, Elkton, Denton, Princess Anne, Salisbury and Snow Hill.

The Maryland Heritage Areas Authority, the Maryland State Arts Council and Maryland Life magazine are supporters of the program.
