Oh what a week. What a GREAT week! We want to thank everyone who attended Splash this year! Thank you to the community for stopping by all three venues during the week. Thank you to the hard-working team at Arts of the Albemarle who hosted this extraordinary event. Thank you to the local folks who gladly hosted some out of town artists! Thank you to anyone and everyone who made it all possible. It just keeps getting better and better every year!
