This year’s ArtSwirl, the fourth annual, will be better than ever. New events, for an even wider range of ages and interests, are being added.

The festival, a ten-day celebration of local arts, will run from Friday, August 2nd through Sunday, August 12th.

The planning group includes Alley Beyer, of the Rare Pair, Liz Carpentier, of the Art Store, Jessica Paxton, of Carleton College, Nick Sinclair, of By All Means Graphics and Grezzo Gallery, and the founder and organizer, Jill Enestvedt, also of the Rare Pair.

There’s still time to join the fun. Interested artists, art lovers, or just plain folks looking for a little creative expression should contact Jill Enesvedt.
