Hello Fellow Library Professionals, I am sit on the board of a community organization in Big Rapids called Festival of the Arts. This festival runs January 28th through the month of February and brings in artists from all over the county. This year as part of our kick-off event we want to encourage artists from around Michigan to show their art forms and give them the opportunity to sell their artwork if wanted. If you could please help me raise awareness of this opportunity for artists in Michigan it would be greatly appreciated. If you are able to post it on your social media platforms and place a flyer on your community boards I would be forever grateful! The Big Rapids Community is hoping to bring in hundreds of artists and we are hoping to give everyone the opportunity who wants to participate. Please help us spread the word! Much thanks! Miriam Andrus, Director Big Rapids Community Library p.s. I am also sending this to several arts organizations around Michigan but if you have personal connections to any, please feel free to pass along the information.
