This weekend the 53rd annual Clothesline Arts Festival is being held on the grounds of the Memorial Arts Gallery in Rochester, NY. This is the best arts festival of the season, and draws hundreds of the finest artists and craftspeople in the country. WXXI has done a live broadcast from the festival every year since 1997, making this one lucky #13. Is was a perfect day and wonderful broadcast. Our hosts talk with a selection of artists who are showing at the festival, and of course we take some time out for shopping after the broadcast. The festival continues tomorrow (Sunday, September 13) from 10 am to 5 pm. Here's a sample of the quality you'll see; we spoke with woodworker William Peck about his windsor chairs and bentwood rocking chairs during the radio broadcast.
