Headwaters Arts
Since 1996, Headwaters Arts Festival has been promoting art created in the Headwaters region and encouraging interaction among artists and the community. Its signature event is an annual Festival that includes a juried art show and sale, authors’ night, kid’s activities, music.
Headwaters Arts Network is a grassroots, artist-driven organization born out of consultative meetings with artists in the region. With the help of a Trillium Foundation Grant, the group created an action plan to meet collective needs identified by the artists.
Realizing we had two organizations with similar goals and ambitious plans – and not enough people/resources to implement them fully – in 2008 the two groups agreed to join forces, creating a new organization called Headwaters Arts.
Headwaters Arts is a not-for-profit, volunteer-driven, membership organization. We serve as an umbrella multi-discipline arts organization for the Headwaters region.
