The Grafton Fine Arts & Music Festival
The Grafton Cultural Council sponsored the 2nd Annual
Grafton Fine Arts & Music Festival on May 18-20, 2007 at the Grafton
Municipal Center. Exhibited were framed art, photography, fiber art and
sculpture by local and regional artists and students.
The Arts Festival’s purpose is to celebrate the local artists of Grafton and
surrounding communities and to inspire artists of all ages to become involved to
display their work. There were cash and other prizes, presented at Friday
evening’s Awards Ceremony.
2006's 1st Festival was extremely successful and in 2007, the Festival
grew into a 3 day event.
A Call to Artists is out now with deadline
for artwork by May 8, 2008. The $5 per piece fee will help fund future
festivals. For more info or to register as an artist,

A variety of performances, directed by musician Donna Blanchard was
presented throughout the weekend, with a special musical program on Friday
evening and Sunday afternoon. Opening night reception included wine, hors
d’oeuvres and music.
Free workshops were held on Saturday.
