Organizers of Horsefly’s popular Arts on the Fly have decided to take a hiatus this summer in order to ramp things up and return with an exciting festival in 2017.
“Because the 10th annual festival was so good, we want to preserve that high energy without exhausting the volunteer efforts of the community,” organizers said in a press release.
As the Arts on the Fly Festival Society experiences a turnover in membership it says it has unanimously decided that 2016 will be a year for growth and planning for next year’s event, taking the time to find the right people to fill the many roles instead of jumping in and risking a compromised festival experience.
In the meantime locals can still show support to arts and culture by attending the society’s fundraiser events throughout the year, such as the Safety Meeting concert series currently in full swing.

“We sincerely thank all of the attendees, volunteers, and artists over the years and look forward to celebrating with you again next year,” the press release noted. “And to all of our supporters, sponsors, and partners — we couldn’t do it without you. To get involved with the festival society, to volunteer or donate, we would love to hear from you. Write to info@artsonthefly.com.”
