Vandalism................................................................................................................................
April 19, 2009
To the vandal who has been defacing public property
in downtown Galt: please do not associate yourself with the Cambridge Arts Festival. If you
want to express yourself please do it in an appropriate way. This is not the way. You are
giving "art" a bad name and hurting the Cambridge Arts Festival's good name.
Sponsorship Update...................................................................................................................Apr 8, 2009
We have been pounding the pavement looking for
sponsorship and it has payed off! We would like to welcome Stems and More, Cambridge Hotel,
BMO Bank Of Montreal, Factory Arts, Sobeys, and many more. This is all thanks to our amazing
committee.
Welcome
Running annually since 1995, the Cambridge Arts Festival strives to ensure that all local artists have the opportunity to display their art forms in a pleasant location to be viewed by members of their own community.
Our festival has been host to countless local and regional artists of all diciplines including writers, painters, photographers, dancers, buskers, drum circles, musicians, singers and actors.
