Howdy %%FIRST:Partner%% Big West Arts Festival expected to bring artists worldwide to Sheridan
For two days in August the Sheridan College campus is expected to become a metropolis of culinary, visual and performing art as the first annual Big West Arts Festival unites artists to showcase the diverse and vibrant talent represented by artists worldwide. The juried event takes place from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on August 5 and 6 features the work of 100 selected visual artists and 15 selected culinary artists. 
"It’s really a positive thing for Sheridan College to show our support for art by hosting the Big West Arts Festival," President of Sheridan College Dr. Kevin Drumm said. "Sheridan College is invested in all aspects of art, and this event is our way of bringing together local and regional artists in an entertaining and active setting." Drumm added that he hopes to see the Big West Arts Festival grow into one of the premier annual arts shows in the west. This festival should delight the senses as the canopied campus becomes a stage for exciting artwork, fun children activities, delicious fine culinary faire and lively entertainment for the two days in the #1 Western Town in America.
