Recent Event: ArtOberfest



On October 4th, MCFA held the first (and hopefully annual) event "ArtOberfest" this past Saturday evening at The James Buchanan Hotel, Pub and Restaurant.

Artists and musicians filled the crisp, autumn night with the sights and sounds of local art. Many guests filtered in through the restaurant and onto the patio as they admired the talents on display and enjoyed the live entertainment.

Many thanks to our artists and musicians in attendance: Eric Schaeffer, Mason Bailey, The Hello Strangers, The Pale Barn Ghosts, Daniel Jensen, Janine Davis, Diane Skubon, Diana Penrod, Glen Sabetto, Anne Finucane, Teresa Ucellini and Georgia Barvinchak. And thank you to the patrons who purchased art. Your attendance and participation makes these events meaningful and worthwhile.

Thanks to our hosts, John and Deniz Celestin and to their staff, for a job well done.

MCFA hopes to plan and excecute more events like this in the future.
