Hunt County Art Festival Returns to Greenville

Downtown Greenville hosts the Hunt County Festival of the Arts from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, May 6, to celebrate the many forms of art that impact the community.

The festival features an art walk, a juried art show, demonstrations, interactive booths and activities for kids, live theater, live music, a Taste of Greenville, a Color Fun Run, and vendors selling handmade arts and crafts.

Featured artists use a variety of techniques and mediums — from paint and digital art to wood, clay, and sculpture. Their works are required to be original, handcrafted, appropriate to display in a family-friendly environment. Visitors can meet the artists in person and chat with them at their booths. The 60 artists in the juried show are selected from a pool of roughly 100 applicants.

Culinary activities include a food tasting event and tours of the Landon Winery Production Facility led by an experienced winemaker. Visitors can taste the wine straight from the barrels. Advance registration is required. Visit www.landonwinery. com for information on how to register.

The Color Blaze 5k and Fun Run at 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 6, at the Farmers Market in Downtown Greenville includes three stations where runners are doused with color powder, becoming human works of art. Click HERE to visit the art festival’s event page or call (903) 457-3126. Zoe
