Duluth Spring Arts Festival

CL’s Kevin C. Madigan Recommends: This two-day outdoor festival is happening mostly on Duluth’s main drag and brings together artists and craftspeople for its third annual event. “You can enjoy the pleasures of public art in various forms throughout Duluth such as the Gateway Art piece known as Ascension, the Community Mural Project, and the Main Street Wall Project,” organizers said in a statement. The festivities will show off dozens of painters, photographers, sculptors, leather and metalwork crafters, glass artists and jewelers, and will include artist demonstrations, live music and dance performances, plus gourmet food and beverage trucks “with healthy alternatives.” The occasion is promoted by the Atlanta Foundation for Public Spaces; they have a board of experts in various artistic disciplines and sponsor events across the Southeast.— KCM
