The Mad River Valley comes alive this month with the 16th annual Vermont Festival Of The Arts.
Waitsfield will be home base for close to 120 arts-related events and activities throughout the region.
As summer festivals go, The Vermont Festival Of The Arts is all-encompassing, embracing graphic and visual arts, theater, film and of course, food.
Festival Artistic Director Karen Nevin says this is a great opportunity to interact with artists, particularly at the mid-month Plein Air Paint-Out.
Nevin says the beauty and community spirit of the Mad River Valley contribute to an inviting environment for artists.
VPR's Neal Charnoff sat down with Karen Nevin for a preview.
