This year marks the sixth anniversary of Artlit, a free, popular community celebration of art and literature for all ages, connected with the year's NEA Big Read​ book selections. ArtLit 2023 explores art and literature with a playful explosion of live music, chalk art, spoken word, dance performances, crafts and interactive experiences based upon stories that connect us.
