The Festival of the Arts Has Started

This is the weekend (May 25-27) to celebrate the arts at The Annual Paso Robles Festival of the Arts. I went to the “Don’t Feed the Artists” discussion in the library conference room this afternoon, but the main events are still to come tomorrow at City Park, and they are free to attend. Don’t miss them. Bring the kids and they will be exposed to fun art activities in their own corner of the park.

If you were unable to attend the 2011 Paso Robles Festival of the Arts, come along with me and see some of what you missed. Even I couldn’t see all of it. Even if you were there, your experience could have been totally different than mine, since there were so many choices of activities, and so much to see.

Featured here are Designs by Helene, Dan Shattuck’s Recycled Art, and the glass art made from recycled bottles made by Rachel Tamagni. You will also see and hear Alicia R. Broussard, the vocalist for this event, set up and warm up before the official performance time.

Come along and share my experiences at the opening reception of the Studios on the Park “Just Sweet” Exhibition on Friday night, February 5, 2011. I saw great paintings and other works of art, learned about encaustic painting and photography from Heidi Franscioni, talked with Sally Tippman and other artists, and got videos so that you can hear those conversations and see some of the paintings. You can also hear the Love Notes sing.

Today gave us a break from winter temperatures and many were out walking or riding. The Bremen Town folk musicians played at Farmers Market in Templeton and when I went for a walk near Turley Tasting Room, I saw this couple riding in tandem along Vineyard Dr. It felt like spring here today.
