Created by and for the community, the 2010 Norway Arts Festival will feature more than 100 fine artists at the 43rd Annual Norway Sidewalk Art Show and myriad events and performances held along Norway’s historic Main Street.
The fun begins on Thursday, July 9, with a lecture at the Norway Library, followed by a lively weekend that will include the Norway Triathlon, Poets on the Porch VIII, and the annual Library Used Book Sale, along with musicians, jugglers, dancers, children's activities, drummers, and giant puppets. Go to the Schedule link above for details.
Every event is free to the public. Thanks to a Merchants Raffle, several lucky folks will go home with free original art.
In 2009, $4,200 in cash and purchase prizes were awarded. To register as an exhibitor, go to Vendors/Exhibitors link above. Print out and send in the registration application by June 15, 2010 for inclusion in the Festival program.
2010 Festival Kickoff Dinner! On Friday, April 9, from 5 to 7pm, we'll kickoff the Festival with a pasta dinner (including baby greens, local foccacia and yummy desserts) at the UU Church on upper Main Street in Norway.
We'll announce this year's theme and enjoy some local music. Tickets are $10 at Books N Things and the Norway Library; kids under 10 eat free.
