Artsfest on Historic Walnut Street

Missing Artsfest already💔 We're already excited for next year, and we have more sponsors to thank! We could not have put on Artsfest without all of our financial partners. If you're interested in sponsoring Artsfest next year, send us a DM, and we'll get you plugged into the festival!

We are so grateful to our Artsfest sponsors for their support this year. We couldn't have put on such an incredible weekend without all the businesses and non-profits that are showing they appreciate art and community in tangible ways. A few of our sponsors are pictured here, thank you, thank you!

Did you participate in the Tie Dye Tent?? If so, your 24hrs is up and you can take your shirts out of their ziplock bags! Here are your next steps:

1. Rinse the t-shirt under cold water until the water runs clear. This will help to remove any excess dye and prevent the colors from bleeding or fading.
2. Wash the t-shirt separately in cold water with mild detergent. This will help to remove any remaining dye and keep the colors bright and vibrant.
3. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric and cause the colors to fade.
4. Hang the t-shirt to dry, or tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid drying the t-shirt in direct sunlight, as this can cause the colors to fade.
5. Store the t-shirt in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

This will help to prevent the colors from fading and keep the fabric in good condition. Following these aftercare instructions will help to keep your tie-dyed t-shirt looking bright, vibrant, and beautiful for years to come!
