BEHIND THE SCENES: PLANNING THE FESTIVAL
Art Activities Area is confirming some 20 hands-on art activities for adults and children and we have secured Dick Blick as a sponsor. Artists' Management is accepting payments and paperwork from artists and will be assigning booth spaces soon. The Performance Committee has been listening to cds and booking bands and has the schedule nearly complete. We're excited about the inclusion of local poets and dancers. Vendors are sending in confirming paperwork to the Refreshments Committee. Volunteers Committee has met and is developing a strategy for improving the experience for all. We are looking forward to another great festival year. Thank you for being a part of the art in Upper Arlington!
