The Blanden Art Museum released a statement on Friday announcing the cancellation of the Blanden Arts Festival. The statement is below.

Out of an interest for public health and safety in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Blanden Art Museum Board of Directors, staff and event committee have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Blanden Arts Festival scheduled for Saturday, June 13, 2020. We will be in touch with registered artists and vendors in the coming days. The Blanden Arts Festival will return next year on Saturday, June 12, 2021. In the meantime, we are working diligently on a plan to safely reopen the Museum to the public at such time the Governor allows. We look forward to sharing our beautiful galleries full of great art.
