Finster Fest, an art festival celebrating the legacy of outsider artist Howard Finster, is returning to his Paradise Garden in Summerville, Georgia, from September 19–20. The two-day event will showcase more than 70 folk, contemporary, and craft artists.
The festival will also include 17 live music performances, artist demonstrations, talks, and special exhibitions. Finster, often called the "archbishop of folk art," created Paradise Garden over decades, filling it with paintings, sculptures, and "junk art" made from repurposed materials.
Finster Fest aims to promote and educate the public about Finster's unique artistic vision and the environment he cultivated. Attendees can explore Finster's original works and see contemporary artists who carry on his creative spirit. The event offers a comprehensive experience for art and music enthusiasts.
