Fall for the Arts Festival is October 5

The Second Annual “Fall for the Arts” will be hosted by Arts Council of Pickens County on October 5th in conjunction with the Easley Farmer’s Market. Committee members have a fun filled day planned that will entertain everyone from the art entrepreneur to the person who may be viewing art for the first time!

Living artists will be on site demonstrating their skills and crafts during the day. Woodworking, caricature sketches, storytelling, painting, and more will fill the tents of the living artists for the community to enjoy. Artists will be available to discuss the process through which they create pieces of art to sell or share with others.

Music will fill the crisp fall air from the live performing artist in front of City Hall. Local musicians, dancers, and vocalists will also provide entertainment throughout the day. The winners from the 2nd annual Easley’s Rising Star Talent Contest will perform their winning entries.

Local school children will have art on display at the Starving Artist Café. The displayed art will be that of winners from a contest sponsored by “Fall for the Arts”. Winners will be presented with their prizes on the main stage during the festival.

Easley’s Rising Star Talent Contest will take place on Friday evening October 4th at Foothills Playhouse beginning at 6pm. Admission is free! Singers, dancers, and musicians will be competing for prizes in four age divisions.

Sponsorships are available for this year’s events. There are still spaces available for artists and artisans.
