The Montevallo Arts Collaborative will hold its 15th annual Montevallo Arts Fest in Orr Park on Saturday, April 17 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Artists and artisans will line the park to display and sell their work ranging from fine arts to fine craft works. Everything from pottery to woodcrafts, printmaking to painting, and jewelry to glass will be available for purchase at this once-a-year festival.

Children will have the opportunity to make a piece of art at no cost in the kids’ area, and for the young and young at heart, balloon artist Carl Carrier will be creating balloon animals again this year.

All your favorite festival food trucks will be there as well. And admission is free! Entertainment adds to the festival’s atmosphere. The line up at the Main Street Montevallo Music Stage for this year’s festival will include local musicians Jim Quakenbush, Brendan Young, JW Teller, Soul Karnival and Red Hot Rodeo.
