Art in the Square: Looking Towards 2013

Art in the Square, Highland Square's annual art and music festival, has seen tremendous growth over the past three years. As organizers of the event, the Highland Square Neighborhood Association is grateful to the artists, performers, volunteers, sponsors, residents, business owners, city leaders and everyone else that have made this festival possible.

Heading into 2012, the volunteer committee has recognized the need to take additional time to adapt to the growing size and popularity of the event. Many on the committee also need this year to focus on personal health and family issues. As a result, we have decided to postpone the next Art in the Square festival until September of 2013.

Until then, we will be working to finalize our non-profit status which will provide more opportunity for event funding. We also will use this time to create more materials to improve the event, such as signs to help visitors find their way and better stages to give the performers shelter from the sun and rain. We have also discussed holding one or two smaller events in Highland Square before next year's festival. We will announce these on the website and on Facebook when they are more certain.

As always, if you are interested in volunteering for Art in the Square or other events, be sure to contact us. Thank you for your support. We look forward to seeing you in 2013!
