Fall Festival of the Arts
November 1 through 19
The largest juried Fall show Downriver!
We have had 22 years of successful shows offered to the public with qualified jurors for the Fine Art section.
Being part of an art exhibit offers artists significant advantages beyond just showcasing their work. It provides invaluable visibility and validation by presenting artwork to a diverse audience of collectors and fellow enthusiasts.
