About the Spotlight on the Arts Festival
For over 35 years the Fairfax Spotlight on the Arts Festival has attracted accomplished visual and performing artists to the greater Fairfax community. Now, more than ever, we understand the importance of the arts in our lives. The arts do not just create community but they have the power to heal. That is why the theme for the 2021 Spotlight on the Arts Festival is Art Heals.
CFTC's participation in the Spotlight on the Arts Festival is funded in part by the City of Fairfax Commission on the Arts.
