Professional artists will welcome community members while presenting a variety of free art workshops.
On March 27, the festival will run from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and feature workshops on origami, bookbinding, painting, drawing, pottery, needle felting, drum making and photography.
On March 29, playwright Jeffrey Sweet will present a workshop and performance of his "You Only Shoot the Ones You Love."
"This is our opportunity to celebrate the arts here at GCC," said Moi Dugan, assistant professor of ceramics and 3-dimensional design. "We encourage everyone with an interest in learning about a new technique or experiencing a new art form to come out to GCC."
