The 51st Annual ESAC Outdoor Art Show is officially in the books!
We could not have asked for a better event! The Art Center staff wishes to say a big THANK YOU to all of our festival artists, art patrons who came out to support them, the local downtown businesses that welcomed everyone with open arms, our generous sponsors and as always our amazing volunteers who made this all possible.
We are so proud of our art community and happy to see it grow day by day. Looking forward to a spectacular #OAS2024!
