The Mount Holly Community Development Foundation is excited to be hosting its second annual festival as a way to spotlight the diversity of regional art. All artists, both visual and performing, were chosen through a selection process to ensure the quality of their work. The Foundation’s primary role in the community is that of a catalyst to “advance the health, general welfare and prosperity of the Mount Holly area.” Board Chair, Wendy Foster, explains that “hosting a fall arts festival is a major step towards fulfilling the Foundation’s mission and goals by enlivening downtown with business activity and fun.”
