Kewaunee County Arts Festival

As Kirsten mentioned at last night's Borscht Night - if we have an arts festival we should keep it simple. Robyn and I have discussed this and are offering The Flying Pig gardens as a space to hold a day or weekend of ArtBeet artists in the gardens - something simple that could happen this summer vs. a full-blown arts festival, that will take more planning and probably not be feasible until next summer, which don't get me wrong, I think is a fantastic idea and something we should definitely work towards. Let me know if there is any interest - spread the word and make it happen. Robyn and I will commit to giving you the space, but can't commit any Flying Pig staff, etc. to help - it'll be up to you - ArtBeet supporters and members.
