In a desire to create more opportunities for local artists to showcase their work and talents, Piedmont Arts is set to host its inaugural Arts Festival on Saturday, Oct. 14 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Gravely-Lester Art Garden. This event is free and open to the public and will feature work by painters, craftspeople, and performing artists of all kinds. Food trucks will be set up in the Alliance Bee parking lot. In addition to artists and performers, the Teen Arts Council will be set up for face painting.

“Events like this are so exciting because they really bring everyone together,” says Lauren Ellis, Piedmont Arts’ program coordinator. “It’s a celebration of the creators of our area. Creating an opportunity for them to showcase their work in a beautiful environment has been so much fun and is already so rewarding.” 

Ellis is hoping to make this a part of the regular rotation of Piedmont Arts events. 

“The first step is to just make it happen,” she said. “Then you can build from there. Now what we need is for folks to come out and experience it!” 

She is grateful for the enthusiasm from the artists and performers, and hopes it will inspire the community to come out, participate, and enjoy a beautiful Fall day in Martinsville.

Piedmont Arts is located at 215 Starling Ave., Martinsville. Museum hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Admission is free. Learn more at PiedmontArts.org.
