Join us this August at the Academy Center of the Arts for Ink Festival, featuring a special Education Open House designed for families, students, and lifelong learners of all ages and skill levels!
This unique opportunity invites guests to connect directly with Academy instructors, explore upcoming classes and programs, and learn more about educational offerings in visual arts, theatre, pottery, and community outreach. Whether planning for the school year or seeking creative opportunities, attendees can discover how the Academy supports artistic growth for all ages.
Ink Festival is a vibrant, one-day celebration of creativity centered around the power of ink. Hosted by the Academy Center of the Arts, this new festival brings together artists, writers, and makers to explore ink across disciplines in an engaging, community-focused experience.
Throughout the day, guests can experience four dynamic areas of programming:
Ink-Based Visual Arts & Printmaking including large-scale steamroller printing and live demonstrations
Books & Writers with readings, signings, and conversations with local and regional voices
Children’s Programming & Education with hands-on art activities designed to inspire creativity in young learners
You can also enjoy panel discussions that bring together artists, writers, and creatives to explore storytelling, identity, and artistic expression through ink.
With local vendors, interactive experiences, and opportunities to connect with the creative community, Ink Festival is designed to be welcoming, inspiring, and accessible for all.
Admission is free, but registration is required.
