Arts on Fire Festival is Sept. 13

The Paris Gibson Square Museum of Art is hosting the 14t Annual Arts on Fire Festival on Sept. 13 from 10 a.m. to 4 p..

The event is free and open to the public, with a particular focus on families and art enthusiasts of all ages. The festival will be held rain or shine, with a plan in place to move the festival inside the museum should the need arise due to rain.

The Arts on Fire Festival originally began to celebrate the ceramics program of The Square’s education department with raku firing demonstrations.

Now in its 14th year, the festival has expanded to include a pottery sale; art activities; artist demonstrations; gallery tours; free root beer floats; an artist alley market; lawn games; food trucks; and live music, theatre and dance performances.

Limited accessibility parking can be found off 14th Street at the museum; the public should otherwise park across Central Avenue at Montana Credit Union.

An estimated 100 volunteers from the community donate more than 300 hours of volunteer time to make this event possible each year.
