2011 UWF Festival on the Green is Simply Inspiring

I’m a local artist and I’m really excited about this year’s Festival on the Green at the UWF campus! Always set in the spring, it’s a beautiful time of year for a festival. The magnolias are fragrant, the breeze is cool and all your senses are delighted and enlightened.

Last year there was amazing original art and SO much more. Apart from delicious fresh culinary arts including grilled kabobs, Hawaiian shaved ice and chocolate confections the entertainment was pretty cool. Visitors experienced Native American Traditional dances in full headdress, a reenactment of two shining knights in armor engaged in a duel and live jazz!

Whether I get the honor of showing my art or not, I plan on going and seeing all the talent that floods the green. Some artists are so original and raw that it’s truly inspiring to see where their imagination has led them. Plus considering the fact that I am an avid dog lover I can’t wait to see the canine agility competition and …wait for it…The Canine Square Dance Team! (I couldn’t believe it when I read that!) There will also be a motorcycle show, dance performances, and a jazz piano competition. I’m truly impressed with this festival and I think it’d be difficult to find it’s equal in variety of entertainment, caliber of artists and setting. See you there!
