Indian Spring Park, September 25-27 www.wacoartsfest.org
WELCOME
It gives us great pleasure to welcome you to the 2015 Waco Cultural Arts Fest and join together in celebrating another year of innovation, creativity and originality. In its 12th year this signature Waco event attracts over 16,000 visitors to Downtown Waco. Regarded as one of the of the top cultural events of the Fall, Waco Cultural Arts Fest brings together exceptional artists, performances and immersive experiences in a free festival for all ages on the banks of the Brazos at Indian Spring Park and the Waco Convention Center.
In addition to the bounty of arts activities and demonstrations, music and dance performances, writers workshops, science exhibitions, and film screenings, festival goers may peruse and purchase original paintings, drawings, fiber arts, jewelry, ceramics, photography, and much more at the juried artists market.
Beyond the annual festival, Cultural Arts of Waco continues to foster opportunities for creative and cultural expression through our community programs in schools: ACE after School at La Vega Elementary school; Art at the Arc Summer Camp program (partnering with Arc of McLennan County) for children with autism and cerebral palsy continues to grow as children of every ability thrive in the creative space we provide. Over 500 works of art were exhibited by Art at the Arc campers at our August exhibition.
The Waco Cultural Arts Fest budget is supported by individual and business donations, grant awards, fundraisers, as well as our membership. Because of each contribution, Cultural Arts of Waco is able to continue offering this beautiful, rich, array of talent, visual splendor, and intellectual inspiration FREE to our community.
WE ARE TRULY GRATEFUL TO OUR SUPPORTERS AND FOR THEIR TRUST IN US.
