We are proud to announce a new joint venture brought to you by the City of Franklin Parks Department and the Williamson County Cultural Arts Commission. The Franklin Kids Arts Festival of Tennessee is scheduled for Saturday, June 6th, at Pinkerton Park from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. This new festival is free and open to the public.
We are calling all elementary, middle, and high school artists, dancers, musicians, vocalists, thespians, poets, photographers, and artisans to participate in the first annual Franklin Kids Arts Festival of TN. Both Williamson County Cultural Arts Commission and the City of Franklin hope to promote the love of the arts and opportunities in the arts for school-aged artists of Franklin and surrounding communities.
The Festival will offer many opportunities for school-aged artists of Franklin, and surrounding communities, including: A juried art exhibit, hand-crafted art for sale, stage performances, master classes, art stops to experience and create unique art, and more! Youth artists participating in the hand-crafted art sale will be mentored by participating professional art vendors. Student art will be displayed throughout the event, judged, and winners presented cash awards, as well as the opportunity to exhibit in Franklin City Hall throughout the summer months. Participants will have the opportunity to develop new artistic skills and talents from professional artists through master classes.
Food will be offered for purchase by local food vendors for hungry attendees. Live performances in music, dance, and theatre will offer entertainment for patrons and an audience for talented youth in the area.
