A NOTE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS... Welcome to Artomatic@Frederick 2016! This is the third Artomatic event held in the City of Frederick. This year’s event features both new and returning artists, performers, workshops, and special events for the entire family. The mission of Artomatic is to strengthen our community both economically and socially by providing an artistic playground to showcase local and regional artists in the areas of visual art, performing art, music, written and spoken word, dance and film. The show also includes artists from our local high schools, colleges, and community organizations. We truly appreciate the tremendous support we have received from the community and our local sponsors (including the Chevy Chase area) without whom much of this would not have been possible. Because of the hard work and dedication of our Artomatic volunteers, this year’s event is by far the most robust. We have many more events and activities planned for this year than in the previous events. We offer our sincerest gratitude to all the artists and volunteers who spent endless hours to help us make this event another resounding success. Please stop by and experience Artomatic for yourself. We encourage everyone to support all the talented artists, performers, and businesses that made this event possible! Regards, Jennifer Finley & Steve Dobbin 5
