Online, July 17, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Fine artists and hand crafters are being sought for the 7th Annual Fall Fine Arts
Festival hosted by Southbury Women's Club and sponsored by ShopRite and
Newtown Savings Bank.

This juried event will be held Saturday, September 24, 2011 from 10am-4pm,
rain or shine, on the Southbury Green on Main Street South in Southbury. There
will live music and a bake sale, in addition to the fine art and hand crafts.

Each year, crowds fill the green and 100% of the proceeds from this event go
back into the local community to help those in need. Spots are assigned on a
first come, first serve basis with an expectation of more than 60 artisans
exhibiting this year.
