23rd Annual Art & Artists Celebration
Saturday, September 28, 2019 from 12 – 6pm
Free admission, parking $5/vehicle
What better way to celebrate an exhibition full of new ambitious sculptures made by truly dedicated artists!?! Throw everyone a creative & fun-filled arts festival! In true Franconia fashion, there will be live music, family art-making activities, guided tours of new work, delicious food & beverages, and more.
All-day live music featuring: The Swongos and The Gentleman’s Anti-Temperance League, with headliner Superior Siren!
Attend a public performance at the new work Sometimes the Clouds Come Back This Way. Anat Shinar, Laura Levinson, Rachel Lieberman, and Ondine The Siren Queen will activate the sculpture with a movement score inspired by unrelenting pace of 24/7 culture, economic struggle, digital exhaustion, post-irony politics—and the care and fight against them. Performances at 2:15 and 2:45pm.
NEW THIS YEAR! Participants of all ages and abilities will be encouraged to participate in a scavenger hunt throughout the park. The scavenger hunt will lead participants to a select number of the more than 120 large scale sculptures on exhibit at the park. Scavenger hunt participants will need to answer questions along the way to complete their scavenger hunt passport. All passports successfully completed and returned to the Franconia Information table will be entered into a raffle to receive a prize!
