Art Society Calling Local Artists for Outdoor Event
Registration is now open for Amp Up the Art, Art in the Park 2016, a fun outdoor art show in May.
The Forks Area Art Society is calling local artists, handmade crafters, and vendors to join them in their third annual "Amp Up The Art", Art in the Park outdoor event. This year promises to be even more exciting, with an eclectic mix of entertainment to attract the public. Included will be a zombie makeup demo by Hollywood makeup artist Darren Pastor, with Christopher Weite, who appeared as a walker in the television series the Walking Dead in season 4. Two bands – Big Bone Daddy and Wayne Scott Farley’s “Force for Good” will be providing music throughout the day.
Amp up the Art is centered around the Amphitheater at the Community Center in Forks Township. It is open to artists and craftsmen of all mediums. This one day festival is designed to promote the arts in the surrounding area, to encourage a creative community of arts minded people, providing an excellent opportunity for local artists and craftsmen to display and sell their work. Last year, over 70 artists and vendors participated. The feedback from previous festivals has been very positive. From the start, Forks Area Art Society’s motto has been to have fun with art, valuing open cooperation with other art societies in the area.
Registration for Art in the Park, Amp up the Art 2016 is now open. For information on this and other Forks Area Art Society events, the society can be reached at forksartsociety@gmail.com or by visiting the website at http://forksareaartsociety.yolasite.com/. FAAS is a non profit organization.
