The Festival of the Arts is open to the public without charge.

This annual week-long festival provides an opportunity for all
members of the Farmington Community Arts Council (individual
and groups) to share their activities, purposes and projects with
our community.

The Festival begins on the last Sunday in April with the Artist-in-
Residence and Service to the Arts Awards presented by the Farmington Area Arts Commission. The winners of the Farmington Artist Club also receive recognition on that day.

Throughout the week, the Festival sponsors several "special days"
for students, city employees and senior citizens. Members of the Farmington Artist Club demonstrate their processes for interested fourth grade students. School music groups perform for visiting students as well.

Evening visitors to the Exhibit Hall are frequently entertained by
instrumental musicians from the Farmington Community Band and Farmington Musicale.

Other highlights include a Gala Preview Dinner Party on the Saturday evening before the grand opening on Sunday.

The Festival concludes with the annual concert honoring senior citizens and handicapped presented by the Farmington Community Band and Chorus.
