The fifth annual Grafton Fine Arts and Music Festival will be held on Friday, March 26, Saturday March 27 and Sunday March 28 at the Grafton Municipal Center. Both adults and school age youth are encouraged to submit their art work for display at the Festival.
The interest and participation in this well-received event has resulted in expanding the art categories to include: oil and acrylic painting, watercolor painting, traditional photography, digitally enhanced photography, sculpture, mixed media and assemblage, fiber art and graphic art (pencil, pastels, pen and ink). Thanks to the generosity of the Grafton Suburban Credit Union, cash prizes will be awarded to adults for first, second and third place in the listed categories. Youth will be eligible for savings bonds in two categories: children 11 and under and youth from 12through high school. Art awards will be determined by a panel of qualified judges; adult artists will be recognized in a Friday evening Reception and youth on Saturday morning at 11 AM. Artists will have the opportunity to price and sell their works at the Festival.
The artist prospectus can be found on-line at graftonartsfestival.org or obtained at the Grafton Municipal Center and Library, the Art and Frame Emporium in Westboro and Gaston’s Art and Frame in Shrewsbury.
The postmarked deadline to register art work for the Festival is Wednesday, March 17. There is a $7 per work registration fee which entitles the artist to a free weekend pass for admission to the Festival including all music performances and workshops. Funds generated by admission fees will help fund future festivals. Call 508-887-9969 for more information.
