I think we can all agree that the Amherst Art Festival was a huge success! I am just amazed by how many people came out to support this event. I’d like to thank everyone who came out and had a great time, and all of the vendors for sharing their amazing art with us. Thank you to Vice City Slow Groove Kings, Cellophane Jane, Cowboy Princess Duo, and Mason Mitchell for providing us with great music! And thank you to the Amherst Steele Dance Team, Crooked River Circus, and Maria Jeancola for such incredible entertainment! The streets were overflowing with talent yesterday, and I’m just blown away by how many great artists came together to support this new event.
I would also like to thank our sponsors! Without them, none of this could have happened. So thank you to Aligned Health Center, Atlas Plumbing, Stonington & Black River Masonic Lodges,5 Points Tavern, Cole's Public House, Giuseppe’s W**e Cellar, Gameday Tavern, Amherst Public Library, Amherst Eagles, and PNC Bank.
Also, thank you to Mike at Studio Q Photography, LLC your artistic skills capturing this event so beautifully!
I can’t even begin to express how great it makes me feel to help bring my community together with art. Hope everyone had an amazing time, and I can’t wait to make this even bigger next year!
