Arts in Bloom Spring Festival in Second Season!
The 2nd annual Arts in Bloom Spring Festival will be held Saturday, May 5th in Butterfield Park (E. River St.), in Orange, from noon until 5pm.
The festival is a celebration of Spring with a traditional May Pole winding, local farm and food vendors, artisans, children’s crafts and much more. Also, the Inside-Out Dance Co. (Orange) will perform along with Richard Chase (Orange), Chuck Berube (Petersham), Derrick Brown (Athol) and many others.
This festival is being sponsored by the Performing Arts Collaborative (PAC), which is a division of Art for Life and is supported by the non-profit organization, CFPals. PAC was formed by a group of performing artists in Orange to promote the understanding, appreciation and cultivation of the performing arts in the North Quabbin Region. They seek to showcase music, theater, dance and spoken word through a variety of entertainment experiences that both engage and educate.
Last year the Performing Arts Collaborative presented the 1st Arts in Bloom Spring Festival in the “Getty” parking lot and “Sunday Afternoon with Joe” a classical piano concert with Joe Pepper from Burlington, VT. This year, in addition to the Arts in Bloom Spring Festival, PAC is one of the sponsors of the Drama Circle’s “Lincoln: the Musical” to be presented at the Orange Town Hall in July.
“We are so excited that people want to participate, again, this year,” stated Candi Fetzer, PAC chairperson. She, along with the other committee members, Virginia Porcari, Ingrid Schatz and Genevieve Fraser, have been working very hard on this event. “We had so much fun last year with everyone coming together to make it a success. We are looking forward to doing it again and by using a larger venue this year (Butterfield Park), we have room for more artisans and food vendors.”
The Performing Arts Collaborative is currently looking for more performers (jugglers, clowns, hula-hoop performers, etc.), vendors and committee members; if you are interested in donating your talent, selling your product or becoming a committee member, contact Candi Fetzer at 978-633-4302 or email the committee at performingartcollaborative@gmail.com.
