Celebrate ArtFest 2023 at The Art Center! On Saturday, September 16 from 1 PM – 4 PM, join The Art Center in a celebration of visual art in the community. Admission is free and all ages are welcome. This is a great opportunity for families to come together and get a glimpse of the educational services and programming The Art Center provides throughout Quincy and the surrounding area. Free and low-cost interactive activities can be enjoyed by any person of any age, making it a great time to get creative.
In addition to outdoor activities, the Art Center will also have several exhibits on display indoors during the event: the 2023 Students and Instructors of the Quincy Art Center Exhibit, The 14th Annual Members of the Quincy Art Center Exhibit, the Quincy Children’s Museum Satellite Exhibit Curiosity Magnified, and AfroNOW: A Journey through Blackest Space on the Other Side of Time by Stacey A. Robinson. ArtFest participants will have the opportunity to meet Robinson during the event. All exhibits will be freely available in the Art Center’s galleries, and ArtFest participants will have the opportunity to do an activity that ties into the exhibit.
The Art Center will also welcome a number of community partners to the lawn with their own activities, including Quincy Children’s Museum, Quincy Public Library, Arts Quincy, Quincy Museum, and more! Local musician Kathy Brink will perform, KICK-FM will broadcast from the event, and Fatbacks BBQ will have delicious lunch items for sale!
