Wilson College is pleased to announce its annual ArtsFest celebration will take place on campus the week of April 7-11, 2025. The theme for ArtsFest 2025 will be “ART IS...SHARED STORIES.”  

The College’s ArtsFest Committee is seeking artists and arts educators (visual, performing, and literary) from Chambersburg and the surrounding area to share their experience, expertise, and work at ArtsFest 2025. Appropriate events include a presentation/reading, performance, project, workshop/class, exhibition, immersive experience, or other types of arts-based events. 

Interested parties should complete the proposal form AVAILABLE HERE on the College’s ArtsFest webpage by November 8th. All ideas are welcome, and the ArtsFest Committee is happy to work with anyone who has an idea but needs assistance in bringing it to fruition. Proposals should be financially self-supported though funding may be available on a very limited case-by-case basis.  

ArtsFest is a unique event for Franklin County and the surrounding communities that highlights the outstanding arts and artists within the community. The goal of this event is to engage the Wilson campus and greater regional community in art and art making opportunities that reach across disciplines, subjects, and boundaries to foster relationships, connections, and ideas for effecting positive change in the world.

If you have any questions, please contact Dillon Beede, chair of music, at dillon.beede@wilson.edu or Jen Graham, director of the M.F.A. program, at jen.graham@wilson.edu.
