Art Walk cancelled

Due to lack of participation, the Franklin Art Walk has been canceled.
The next Franklin Art Walk will be Saturday, August 11, 2018.
“I am disappointed that the response for this year’s Art Walk is not what it has been in previous years, Mayor Raymond Harris Jr. said. “However, I am hopeful that artists and authors will participate next year. The Franklin Art Walk will occur at the same time every year, which is the second Saturday in August. By knowing that, artists and authors can prepare for next year, so they can showcase their art with Franklin’s historic Main Street as the backdrop.”
The types of art that are accepted include: drawing, basketry, painting, pottery, recycled art, quilts, handmade accessories, mixed media, photography, sculpture, fiber arts, wood art, stained glass and published books of literature and poetry. All art, literature and poetry displayed must be the original work of the artist or author.
