Booneville Hospitality ARTS Festival 2024
The quaint historic downtown of Booneville, Mississippi, transformed into a vibrant hub of creativity and artistic expression during the recently concluded Hospitality ARTS Festival 2024. This annual event, cherished by locals and visitors alike, offered an immersive experience in the arts, combining the charm of Booneville’s historic backdrop with a day filled with artistic demonstrations, engaging activities, and memorable performances. Here’s a look back at the highlights of the festival and the role MaxxSouth Broadband played in enhancing this cultural celebration.
A Canvas of Creative Expressions
From the early hours of the morning, downtown Booneville buzzed with excitement as artists, musicians, and chefs gathered to share their talents. The festival showcased a wide range of artistic mediums, from traditional painting and pottery to innovative mixed media and 3-D art. Woodturning demonstrations captivated audiences, while the intricacies of printmaking, ceramics, and sculpture were explored throughout the day.
One of the festival's cornerstones was the Juried Arts Competition, open to artists of all ages, which highlighted the diversity and talent within the community. This competition not only provided a platform for local artists to showcase their work but also fostered a sense of mutual appreciation among participants and attendees.
Engaging the Next Generation
The festival was a family-friendly affair, with activities designed to spark the imaginations of young attendees. Children delved into the world of art through hands-on activities, while cooking and floral design demonstrations offered creative inspiration for all ages.
As a proud sponsor of the event, our team at MaxxSouth further enriched the festival experience by setting up a booth where families could learn more about our services. The booth was a hit among the younger crowd, thanks to the distribution of coloring sheets and crayons, allowing kids to bring their own artistic visions to life.
A Symphony of Sounds
The Hospitality ARTS Festival also served as a stage for an array of musical talents. The day kicked off with the soulful melodies of Rheagan Skelton Music, followed by the energetic performances of Billy Stone & The Orchard Band and Studio 38829.
The musical lineup was diverse, featuring the unique sounds of Hannah+Karly, the reggae vibes of One Love Band featuring Nikki Edwards Barnes, and the country tunes of Eric Nanney and 20 Mile. Each performance added a musical layer to the festival's tapestry of arts, captivating audiences and creating a soundtrack to the day's festivities.
