Fiddlin' around the arboretum
Join the East Texas Arboretum in celebrating City of Athens heritage by participating in the new "Fiddlin' Around the Arboretum" event and exhibition. We are currently seeking artistic participation of any ability from the community and local artists in decorating wooden fiddles to be displayed as an art exhibition throughout the arboretum grounds this fall.
Fiddles to decorate may be picked up at the arboretum (during normal business hours) between September 23 and October 10. There will be a $10 cash deposit for each fiddle (or $15 for pre-sealed fiddles) picked up. The fee will be returned to the artist upon delivery. The deadline to return your decorated fiddle will be October 24.
Fiddles will be on display between October 26 and November 21, to be picked up by November 30.
