Winder Binder Gallery of Folk Art is proud to present the Who-Fest [09] Folk Art Festival on May 23rd and 24th, 2009 at Renaissance Park on the NorthShore of Chattanooga, Tennessee. Celebrating it 3rd year in Chattanooga, the Festival is produced by Winder Binder in collaboration with the Who Ha Da Da Artist’ Fellowship and the Shaking Ray Levi Society.
Originally produced in Atlanta, Georgia, Who-Fest moved to Chattanooga in 2007. The festival attracts nearly 100 local, regional and national artists and provides the unique opportunity to meet and purchase directly from artists that specialize in folk, outsider, visionary, and self-taught art. Fields of study include painting, glass, metalworking, sculpture, jewelry, pottery, furniture and textiles.
Festival organizers are also pleased to announce that the Shaking Ray Levi Society will once again host two days of diverse musical offerings from local, national and international performers. A complete list of performers, and schedule, are available at www.whofest.com
In conjunction with Who-Fest, the Shaking Ray Levi Society will also collaborate with VSA Arts of Tennessee to provide festival goers with a number of interesting workshops and displays, along with a panel discussion focusing on “Disabilities in the Arts”.
Hours are Saturday and Sunday, 10am to 6pm. Admission is free. For more information, contact Winder Binder Gallery of Folk Art at 423-413-8999, email to winderbinder@gmail.com, or visit www.whofest.com
