The Weakley County Schools Arts Festival
The Weakley County Schools Arts Festival is a celebration of creativity and imagination in music and the arts through the talents of students representing all ages in all 10 of Weakley County's schools. The annual event highlights categories of painting, drawing, photography, as well as 3D, Sculpture, or Mixed Media. The festival boasts the interesting Upcycled Exhibition, which is the practice of repurposing unwanted objects or items in order to turn it into to a creative piece of genius. Upcycled this year will include Guitars As Art. Incredible live music is provided by talented students who attend Weakley County Schools. The festival will be held at Dresden High School on Saturday, April 27th from 10:30-1PM.
This event wouldn't be possible without the help of generous sponsors: Discovery Park of America, Thunderbolt Broadcasting - WCMT/Star 95.1/Mix 101.3/KYTN 104.9/The Quake, Weakley County Backpack Program, First Community Bank of the Heartland, Greenfield Banking Company, Jeff & Marci Floyd, and Jake & Alyssa Bynum. Thank you so much to these caring individuals and organizations!
The mission of the Weakley County Schools Arts Festival is to celebrate and support the diverse artistic talents in all students, inspire creativity and collaboration among students, emphasize the importance of arts education, and engage families in nurturing artistic expression for child(ren) at home.
