Festival Artist

The honorary Festival Artist appointment acknowledges the accomplishments of a particular artist each year and celebrates the valued contribution that local artists bring to the Armadale community.

Potential Festival Artists are nominated by the community, and the panel of previous Festival Artists discuss and agree on the candidates before the new Festival Artist is formally announced.
