The 47th Annual Wickford Art Festival has ended.
Thank you for attending--we hope you enjoyed the show!

What a fabulous weekend. From the weather to the crowds to the volunteers, it could have not been better. With everyone’s contribution, this was another successful festival.

Many thanks to Bruce Martin and Lillian Dilluvio who spend countless hours this year on the preparations of the festival.  Special thanks to Helen and Steve Patience, Sue Kresenski, Diana Albeghini, Ken MacDonald , Elizabeth Donavon, Janet Tobin, Maryann Chagnon, Cindy Wilson, Judy Johnson, Bryan and Sheri Mehrmann, Mel DeCarvalho, Patrick O’Connor, Irene Spencer, Kathy Fortin, Kristen Bryce, and Sean Hill who helped with behind the scene set ups, street markings, and other special assignments, thank you. For every staff member who participated in the festival to make our visitors more informed and feel at home, thank you. Thank you to all the great cooks who provided the delicious food at our artist reception. It was very well receive and appreciated.

I would also like to acknowledge our sponsors whose support we rely on to continue with our annual festival.
