Joint Statement from Clayton Visual Arts &

Clayton Downtown Development Association, Inc.

Regarding Millstock Music & Art Faire

(Clayton, North Carolina) – The Millstock Music & Art Faire Committee has decided to discontinue the Millstock Music & Art Faire, which has taken place the first Saturday of June since 2000 in downtown Clayton. The three year old committee, comprised of board members of the Clayton Visual Arts (CVA) and the Clayton Downtown Development Association (CDDA), determined there were limitations with the structure and identity of the ten year old event, which began as a promotion of the Coffee Mill, by its original owners.

In its place, a different music and art event is being planned this spring. Details will be announced soon.

In addition, Clayton Visual Arts (CVA) and the Clayton Downtown Development Association (CDDA) are exploring a series of music and art events, separately and together, to take advantage of the new public space at Lombard & Main streets.
