[FESTIVAL] Last year Artpark, the gorgeous events venue in Lewiston, held their first ever ARTsPARKed festival. The free, all-day art and music festival was a success, so this year bringing the festival back was a no-brainer—though a lot of brains go into the planning and curating of this all local, all original art-based festival. This year more than 70 regional artists will be on hand to sell their original artwork out of the truNks of their cars as part of the Artist Trunk Show. Hopefully you’re now fully appreciating the creative title of this festival. The festival will also feature two music stages—the Terrace Stage and Grove Stage—thanks to Music Is Art, as well as a live performance and dance stage. Musical acts like Mr. Boneless, the Home Crowd, Bulldog Brass, Sara Elizabeth, DJ Trevethorne, and more than a dozen others will takeover the stages from noon until 7pm. Verve Dance Studio will hold a special breakdancing workshop in between beatboxing by Scantron, fire dancing from Wylde Kyle, and a belly dance performance by the Belly Dance Academy. There will also be a special gallery show in the Artpark Gallery for art priced under $50, as well as some large scale art installations—so save this Saturday, August 15 to experience a full day of art, music, and dance at Artpark.
