FALLEN TIMBERS ART FESTIVAL - A BIG SUCCESS!

Shoppers filled the Fallen Timbers Art Festival venue on November 2 and 3 to explore the amazing art booths of 38 local artists and enjoy the delicious wines of three local wineries/meadery. The fourth annual event hosted by the Shops at Fallen Timbers in partnership with the Anthony Wayne Area Arts Commission was an incredible success! Several thousand attendees enjoyed the gallery setting as they explored the booths filled with beautiful artwork. Wine sampling and delicious food were all part of the festival. This annual indoor event took place in the beautiful former Gap space (Suite 445) at The Shops at Fallen Timbers and focused on the sale of exceptional works of art in metal, glass, clay, wood, fiber art, jewelry, sculpture, paintings, photography and more.

Anthony Wayne Area Arts Commission sends out thanks to Heathyr Clift, Marketing Administrator for the Shops at Fallen Timbers, for her leadership and all her extra efforts. Also special thanks to our team of AWAAC volunteers who gave their all to create this outstanding experience for everyone who attended. This team included Emilee Roach, Joanne McElheney, Wanda Snyder, Lisa Exner, Jason Langlois, Brittany Miller, Susie Williamsen, Val Pittenger, Ric Roach, and Diana Waugh.
