ArtsFest, that day of parent-and-child activities ranging from molding clay, sculpting sand and painting pets to watching professional artists work, is back on for 2016 with a new host agency, the Statesboro-Bulloch County Parks and Recreation Department. Tuesday, Statesboro-Bulloch Parks and Recreation announced that the festival will be held April 23 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. in its traditional place, on Georgia Southern University’s Sweetheart Circle. The county recreation department expressed interest after the university’s Betty Foy Sanders Department of Art announced in early January that it would no longer host the event, which has occurred each spring for a third of a century.
