5th ANNUAL FALLEN TIMBERS ART FESTIVAL WAS A SUCCESS!
FALLEN TIMBERS ART FESTIVAL 2025
Shoppers filled the Fallen Timbers Art Festival venue on November 8 and 9 to explore the amazing art booths of 38 local artists and enjoy the delicious wines of three local wineries/meadery.
The fifth annual event organized by the Anthony Wayne Area Arts Commission in partnership with the Shops at Fallen Timbers was an incredible success! Hundreds of 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 the Shops at Fallen Timbers, for allowing us to use this perfect space. 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, Jessica Masiker, Val Pittenger, and Ric Roach.
In addition, we would like to recognize the many who lent their support: Four Fires Meadery, Chateau Winery & Vineyard, Vine2Wine, Lyle’s Crepes, and Wandering Bean Coffee.
