Unleash the Artist in You

In all of us is an inner desire to release our artistic expression!!  Discover the many ways you can evoke those hidden talents at the Historic Downtown Louisville’s ArtsFest 2011, the largest hands-on art participation event of its kind in the area. Featuring an ensemble of regional artists representing all forms of visual and performing arts, ArtsFest is dedicated to helping you discover your individual artistic talents while creating your very own works of art! The ArtsFest is truly a community participation event designed to celebrate art creativity and appreciation, accompanied by sumptuous food, cooling beverages and wholesome fun.







At Louisville’s ArtsFest,

YOU become the Artist!

2011 Historic Downtown Louisville ArtsFest

Saturday, September 3,   3pm-10pm


The ArtsFest is a unique, interactive community event where each attendee is invited to actively participate in a broad range of art expressions.  Everyone is encouraged to explore, engage and experiment in the artistic process.  You will enter the world of the artist’s studio and observe their respective methods and techniques.  Browse the colorful exhibitions and demonstrations featuring a bevy of prominent Boulder County painters, potters, sculptors, woodworkers, print-makers, pastel artists, paper folders, jewelry-designers, photographers and metal smiths.  Then immerse yourself in the process by participating in one of the many workshops held throughout the day; where you can dabble in mixed-media, learn a new dance, sketch a self-portrait, sing with a chorus, turn a vase, bang-out your drum rhythm and learn to mix a color palette.  

Throughout the event you will enjoy live music and performances on the open-air stage at Steinbaugh Pavilion, and satiate your appetite and quench your thirst by sampling farm fresh foods and beverages including locally produced beers and soft drinks from local chefs and artisan food suppliers.  As the sun goes down on Front Street, the ArtsFest program swings into an evening of art infused films, lively discussions with local filmmakers, and of course – more delectable food and good fun under the stars.  You’ll want to join in at the Bittersweet Backyard locale and share your experiences from the day!

CALLING ALL ARTISTS
The Louisville ArtsFest mission is to involve the public and artists in the community in making this a day to celebrate art.                        now to help create a unique interactive art experience that offers registered artists a wide breadth of art exposure. All artists interested in sharing their passion for the creative process are invited to call or email now to participate for free. Must register in advance to participate in demonstrating and/or selling your art.

More than an outdoor art fair, the ArtsFest is a working studio, where participants have the rare opportunity to observe the artist at work, and to be inspired to engage in the many hands on art activities. Artists and art educators invite guests into their “street studio” to experiment with jewelry making, dance, music, or with moving a paintbrush across a canvas. The experience gives ArtsFest attendees from the community a new appreciation for individual artist’s works, with many taking the opportunity to sign up for future classes, buy art or order commissions. ArtsFest attracts artists excited by the opportunity to engage the public with a unique and fulfilling approach!
