Authors and Artists Festival - Day 1

The 2021 Authors and Artists Festival is themed "Honoring Nature." Last year's 2020 online fest involved 61 adult and children authors and artists; ultimately reaching over 800 audience members.

This year all programming will also be online, and will feature headline speakers, poets, and new Associated Programming in the months leading up to the festival. Designed to extend the festival experience with hands-on workshops (stipended, to benefit the festival) and a free reading series the first Sunday of each month (11am-noon) of books whose authors will be speaking, the A&A festival offers the opportunity to create and learn for the next 6 months
