Bringing visual and literary arts to the north central community has been the mission of the Northwoods Arts Council since its inception. The festival is a free event making the arts accessible to all. There's something for everyone.

Up North Kettle Corn II provided lots of food options. 

New this year were the Church Pie Ladies. Four local area churches came together to  serve a little slice of heaven with pie and ice cream. 

Wayne and The Boys, a popular venue, drew a crowd to dance, tap their feet or sit a spell while enjoying their food, wine or beer. 

A children's tent featured Make and Take Lake Art and Face Painting.

More than 60 artists showcased their talents in a variety of media that included: paint, metal, clay, wood, jewelry, wearable fiber, photography, oils, watercolors, pottery, and rustic furniture to name a few.
