Featuring “Art In the Woods”
The WesArts council is a group of dynamic artists based in Somerset County Maine. They are involved in multiple art shows, theater, sculpture and many other events all in the name of furthering art in the community. www.wesarts.org
Sunday’s music festivities will also feature arts and crafts by local artisans. Artists are invited at no charge to set up a spot and display and sell your creations to the public. It’s one more way that Billy Belly is helping to support the arts in Maine.
One primary artist each will be admitted free to display his/her art work or crafts, and any additional person helping tend a booth can enter with the purchase of a regular admission ticket.
