PUTNAM — The Putnam Arts Council (PAC) will be hosting the Putnam Fine Arts and Crafts Festival from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 13 and 14 at the Municipal Complex.
Organizers said it will feature more than 55 artists from throughout New England, live demonstrations by local artists, music by local musicians, and more. Attendees can expect to select from a variety of mediums including paintings, pottery, photography, and more.
“We are thrilled to once again bring a fine arts and crafts festival to Putnam and to showcase the incredible talent in our area and beyond,” said Beth Johnston, one of the festival’s organizers. “Our Arts Council is excited to welcome everyone to experience the joy and creativity that the arts can bring, while supporting local artists, and finding the perfect gift for a loved one or the next amazing piece for your home.”
An additional feature this year is the opportunity to visit the Particle Accelerator music concert, in its 20th year, from noon to 9 p.m. in Rotary Park June 13. This event raises money for mental health awareness.
The Festival is rain or shine and parking and admission are free. A free shuttle bus will also be available to take visitors to selected sights in town.
