“Our local arts scene has long been one of the reasons many people locate, relocate and/or stay in Clarksville,” said artist coordinator Ryan Bowie. “We are excited to celebrate eleven years of bringing notice to local artists and artisans with Frolic on Franklin. Vendors are coming from all over the region to demonstrate, show and sell their wares during this daylong festival, with a variety of items for all ages and tastes.”

A crowd favorite is seeing, and often participating in, artists’ demonstrations. Several booths will offer the opportunity to learn techniques directly from the artists throughout the day, including painting demonstrations, woodturning on a lathe, beaded jewelry making, portrait drawings, scroll saw cutting and more.
