Event Details
Celebrate creativity and community at JRC ArtsFest! This free, family-friendly event features the work of more than 40 JRC visual and performing artists, with paintings, wood carvings, crochet, watercolors, pottery, and more available for purchase just in time for holiday shopping.
Bring the family to enjoy interactive experiences where children can play, create their own art, and explore. Participate in hands-on activities at Maker Studios, hear artists share the inspiration behind their work during Creator Conversations, and enjoy a lively lineup of poetry, storytelling, puppetry, magic, readings, and music.
