It is with heavy hearts that Westobou’s board and staff announce the decision to cancel Westobou Festival 2020. It was, until recently, our intention to continue planning the Festival with safety measures in place to bring some light back into our community this fall. The decision to cancel was  difficult. However, we are comforted knowing we are doing our part in keeping our community safe. 

Though it’s true that Westobou Festival will no longer take place in the way we intended, we continue to strive toward our purpose – building community through engaging, creative and thought-provoking artistic experiences. We will continue to work hard as an arts organization to provide unique experiences in Augusta. Westobou Gallery will remain open for small groups to view our planned exhibitions with added virtual components. We will continue to support artists’ ideas throughout the year and are exploring other avenues to fulfill our mission.

 Westobou Festival will return in the fall of 2021! We appreciate your continued support and understanding during this time. To stay up to date with our programming efforts, please follow our social accounts and visit westobou.org to subscribe to our email list.
