W 042316 ARTSFEST 01a — Julia Ann Maxwell of the Statesboro Youth Ballet is on pointe during the 2016 ArtsFest at Sweetheart Circle on the campus of Georgia Southern University last year. The festival was hosted in its traditional place with Statesboro-Bulloch County Parks and Recreation Department, with major contributions from the Averitt Center for the Arts, acting as the official host for the first time.

ArtsFest, returning for its 35th year, has camped on a very busy Saturday, April 22. But far from having a scheduling conflict with the April 21-22 Statesboro Kiwanis Rodeo, the ArtsFest has the Kiwanis Club as one of its sponsors. The 2017 festival on Sweetheart Circle at Georgia Southern University will be open from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m., ending an hour earlier than last year.
