Shelby County Arts Fest
The Shelby County Arts Fest exists to celebrate the arts! The
inaugural Shelby County Arts Fest was held in July of 2003 at Indiana
Downs. The event was later moved to downtown Shelbyville. Since that
time, Shelby County art students have participated in various innovative
and creative Arts Fest projects – from decorating very tall (6′) bears,
to painting park benches.
We continue to support local artists and, by hosting Arts in the Park, we
hope to encourage and inspire people (of all ages) to pursue artistic
interests. By providing opportunities to experience various creative art
activities, today’s art students can become tomorrow’s skilled artists who
continue to enjoy the arts (drawing, painting, sculpture, acting, dancing,
writing, filmmaking, photography, music, etc.) throughout their lifetimes!
