  • My Fiction Icks
    By Jay Grummel When you read as much as I do you start to notice common things in fiction that make you annoyed, upset  or even want to put down the book completely. I have a bad habit of not giving books much of a chance when they use some of these personal ‘icks’. However, […]
  • Poetry for Fall
    By Jay Grummel Poetry has a way of connecting us to the external and internal world. In poetry it is easier to feel a season and truly feel a piece due to this. Poetry has a subtle way of making the readers immersed into the world of the poem. With the air getting colder and […]

Art

There is a variety of beautiful work to be seen at the Black Swamp Arts Festival. Two art shows have creations from artists all over the country and some are local from Wood County. Along with these shows are amazing chalk drawings done by young artists in the Teen Arts area. There will be plenty of opportunities to see artists at work and get to know them. Now you don’t just have to look at the art because you can make some of your own too! Making paper hats, spray painting, making new crayons from old, creating a new robot friend and plenty more are all perfect activities for the whole family that don’t cost a penny.

Music

You don’t get to just see the artwork at the festival, you get to hear it too. With a music lineup of 14 artists on the main stage you will never be bored. Some artists that will be performing are Ward Davis, Cedric Burnside and Nikki D and the Sisters of Thunder. For more family friendly song choices, hop on over to the family stage located in the Youth Arts area for songs everyone can enjoy. The community stage will be taken over by many local musicians so check it out and you might even see someone you know. Then, on Saturday, in the Teen Arts area is the Beats On The Streets music competition where vocal ensemble groups compete in a musical competition to earn money for their school’s music department.
