The Winnsboro Art and Wine committee wants to thank you for the success of this year's Festival. Without the support of the artists, vendors, wineries, visitors and especially the many volunteers we would not be able to create such an incredible event. We hope to see you all next year.

Young people who love to sing need support to reach their potential as unique and expressive human beings. Fran's approach develops your child’s confidence and competence for a long life love for singing. Most voice teachers of young singers focus exclusively on what songs to sing, posture, breath, and expression. Aside from that Fran focuses on giving your child their own voice and developing a vocal technique. This means knowing how to consistently make the sound required, when needed in a healthy and sustainable way.

Gelli Plates Hands-on Demo Print with Ed MacPherson

All supplies not included

Description:
Come and learn about the technique of Gelli Plate printing! Ed will have a great presentation and practice time for deco art, cards, book covers, and more! A relatively new form of mono printing that uses flexible printing plates to create textures and layers of color. Using a brayer roller coat the Gelli plate with a very fine layer of water-based ink or paint. Using stencils and natural elements such as leaves, you can create textures and patterns. This form of printing does not require a press, you simply place a piece of paper over the prepared Gelli plate and using your hands smooth it over the back of the paper. All non-toxic materials.

The tents are gone, and the streets are clean, but what a great weekend was had on the Bowery this past weekend. All of which could not have been done without the strong support of our sponsors and volunteers. Thank you everyone for your continued support of Winnsboro Center for the Arts and Winnsboro Art and Wine Festival. Tune in next year as plans are already underway for the 16th Annual event.

Our Story

Embracing the Sprit of Creativity

Winnsboro Center for the Arts is a multi-disciplinary art center serving Northeast Texas with a diverse array of activities including educational programming, cultural opportunities and entertainment.

Our revenue is derived primarily from large events such as concerts, theatre and festivals. With the arrival of COVID-19, we have had to close our doors and cancel all events. To effectively serve the community during this time, we are transitioning to virtual activities such as art exhibit tours, classes and workshops and summer camps. Our vision is to integrate the arts into community life, and we continue to seek innovative means of accomplishing that.

Winnsboro Center for the Arts (WCA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located at 200 Market Street in Winnsboro.
