Dozens of local talented artists will once again display and sell their creative work along the Greenway trail within Old Fort Park on Saturday, Sept. 21, from 10 a.m.–4 p.m. at the 17th Annual Greenway Art Festival.

Hosted by the Cultural Arts division of Murfreesboro Parks and Recreation Department and Friends of the Greenway, the festival will be located at the Old Fort Park trailhead, 916 Golf Ln., Murfreesboro.

“This is a one-of-a-kind family-friendly event,” said Lisa Browning, Murfreesboro Parks and Recreation Department event coordinator. “We are excited to host over 70 fine artists working with a variety of mediums.”

Organizers chose the theme “Cross Pollination: Art and Nature in Harmony,” to reflect the synergy of what’s going on in the Murfreesboro Arts community. “Just like plants, animals and insects work together to flourish, artists from all genres are coming together to build each other up resulting in a flourishing arts community,” said Browning.

Attendees will enjoy live musical performances throughout the day as well as oil paintings, watercolor, pottery, textiles, metal, glass, sculpture, jewelry, installation art, music, food vendors and art activities for all ages.

Performing musicians include the MTSU Center for Chinese Music and Culture at 10 a.m., MTSU Flute Choir at 11 a.m., Tracey Palfavi at noon and Preston Ary at 2 p.m.

Admission and parking are free.

All Greenway Art Festival artwork is original and created by the artists; no mass-produced, commercially manufactured work or work manufactured from kits or molds will be displayed.

In the event of heavy rains, the festival will be canceled. For more information on the Greenway Art Festival, visit murfreesborotn.gov/parks, find the Cultural Arts Facebook page or contact Lisa Browning at lbrowning@murfreesborotn.gov.
