And just like that, the Women’s Art Festival has flown by 🌼

A giant thank you to our performers for keeping visitors and artists entertained. We are so proud of this year’s line-up, and are so grateful that you all chose to spend the day with us!

We are so grateful for our amazing volunteers!! They are a reliable and hard working group who handled all tasks thrown their way. They are the backbone of this festival, and without them, it wouldn’t run half as smoothly 💐

This year, we were so lucky to have Allison Mae as our photographer! How amazing are these photos! If you see yourself in any photos posted, please head over to Allison’s page to show support/inquire about any pics 📸

We are a small committee of volunteers, but we are strong! We have worked tirelessly over the past year to bring the vision of WAF to life. We are committed to creating a space for women artists to shine, and we look forward to seeing what the 2027 festival has in store ☀️

Until next year!
The Women’s Art Festival Committee
