Thank you to all of our artists, volunteers, and patrons who joined us this past weekend for the Allen Arts Alliance Fine Arts Festival at Watters Creek. We hope you had a great time at the festival as we did. According to Watters Creek management, the weekend far exceeded their expectations with regards to visitors attendance during the 3-day event. It was a huge success!

Here's a short quote from one of the emails we've received from a first time exhibitor:

"It was a lovely festival, well run. Some of the work was outstanding, and your fees allowed participation by promising young artists for whom this was the first major festival. I am a veteran of many festivals and art shows, and I appreciate your effort in organizing the show, the friendly attentiveness of your volunteers, and the opportunity to work with the delightfully diverse community of Allen. Best wishes for all Alliance Efforts. You are doing important and difficult work..."
