This weekend’s two spring festivals – Who-Fest and HubFest – are each marking their seventh anniversaries.
Who-Fest, the folk-art festival in Coolidge Park, will display the work of about 50 exhibitors. Festival director David Smotherman describes it as “an outdoor celebration of folk, outsider, visionary and art-taught artists.”
They’ll be showing paintings, glass, metalwork, sculpture, jewelry, pottery, furniture, photography and textiles.
“We have a really good core group of artists coming back, but we always have a good rotation of new artists. The last three years’ Best In Show winners will all be here, including Charla Steele from last year,” says Smotherman.
