Alton Mill Gallery - Preview Exhibition

A big thank you to the Alton Mill Gallery Committee for volunteering to dismantle, clean and install the new Preview Exhibition at the Alton Mill Gallery. A special thank you is extended to John Ashbourne who generously contributed peg board, paint and time, in order to create even more display space at the Mill. The energy, dedication and care that everyone took with this project was amazing.

The new exhibition truly showcases the incredible talent we have here in the Hills of Headwaters. Be sure to come by and get a taste of what is to come this fall at the Festival Art Show & Sale. The Show runs from July 4 - October 26.

If you are interested in helping with this committee please email - info@headwatersartsfestival.com More volunteers are needed.

We are currently planning a fundraiser to raise money for further improvements to the gallery (i.e. lighting, painting). More information on Mystery Mini Masterpieces --to follow!
