ArtsWells Features
ArtsWells Festival of All Things Art - Expect the unexpected!
What started and continues to be a mostly volunteer run festival comprised of IMA staff, board membe
rs, community partners, friends, and supporters has grown in such a short time to present the largest ArtsWells festival yet. Wells has always been a town vibrant of arts and culture. In the 1930s musical acts were enjoyed in the very same Wells Community Hall where many of this year’s shows and exhibitions are being held. Artists have travelled from across the country to this little mountain town to be part of this inspiring collaboration! This is a 4 day outdoor & indoor event designed with community in mind. We hope that you will enjoy the weekend taking in all the great artists, the local flavour of nature trails, historical sites, artisans, and friendly folk!
