Inaugural art festival ‘draws’ a crowd

Saturday, Copperas Cove embraced its artistic side with the Five Hills Art Guild’s first Art Festival.

 

Event-goers were able to immerse themselves in a variety of art forms as the festival offered a little bit of everything. They could check out, appreciate, and even purchase various kinds of art. Vendors sold paintings, photographs, woodwork, caricatures, Henna tattoos, crafts, jewelry, and so much more. Entertainment came in the form of live music and performances by the Central Texas Belly Dance Association. There was also both a silent and a live auction to help raise money for the Five Hills Art Guild.

 

The Guild held the event in part to promote the talented artists and help spread the love of art through Copperas Cove, but also to gain more revenue so that they can create more murals in the city. The inaugural event was more than a year in the making.
