Art Show adds culture to A Day in the Village festivities

Each year the Stockbridge Area Arts Council (SAAC) provides a touch of culture to A Day in the Village festivities with the addition of its SAAC Art Show. Five members of the SAAC work hard to ensure that area artists have a showcase for their work, which they conveniently display in the Stockbridge Township Hall amidst the ADIV activities happening in the Square and around town.

Awards and cash prizes are presented to first, second, and third place winners in both fine arts and photography. Another cash prize goes to the People’s Choice winner each year.

According to Andrea Stickney, one of the SAAC organizers, “This year’s show was significantly larger than last year, and things look promising for 2025.” Stickney encourages those interested in the arts to consider volunteering with the SAAC to help with the planning and rollout of next year’s show.
