According to Julie Wake, Executive Director of the Arts Foundation, “This year we wanted to add something special and unique to the mix and coordinated a live “behind the scenes” look at how a television program is produced. We can do this right in our own community! The month will also be filled with live musical events and opportunities to see some incredible art and meet some great people.”
Fall for the Arts was created by the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod to highlight the region’s exciting cultural scene and extend the tourism season. The continual events around the Cape and Islands also encourages residents to get out and experience the vibrant arts and cultural community that exists here. During the month-long festival, there will be many opportunities to meet and talk with artists, enjoy live entertainment, discover cultural centers, visit museums and take a walk through Cape history.
