Satisfy Your Senses!
The 14th annual Folsom Gourd & Arts Festival will be held at Folsom City Park on September 27-28, 2008. Over 150 artists will sell their exquisite artwork during the 2-day event. Held under beautiful, mature trees, the festival includes demonstrations, entertainment, food... and, of course, gourds! During both days of the event, well-known artists will demonstrate gourd art techniques including cutting, dying, and embellishing gourds. Leiser's Gourd Farm will be on hand with thousands of gourds for sale, and art suppliers will have the latest tools, books, and materials. Visitors will find everything from handmade brooms to wearable art, and from fine jewelry to rustic pottery. Call to Artists:
The event is open to artists of all mediums, including, but not limited to, gourd art, painting, printmaking, sculpture, drawings, photography, fiber arts, glass, pottery, jewelry, and mixed media.
