Dear Friends of Festival Noir,
After 14 years of presenting the finest in Afrocentric hand crafted
products to the New England area, we have made the difficult
decision to cancel Festival Noir 2007.
We have not come to this decision easily, but in recent years, we
have observed the steady decline in attendance, and an overall
decline in the number of artist applications we've received. These
factors have led us to the conclusion that this year's Festival Noir
would be less than what we envisioned when we began in 1993; a
showcase for the best of African American art, presented to an
appreciative buying public.
We thank you for your support of our event. We hope you found the
Festival Noir experience to be a valuable one. We have enjoyed
producing it, and if future conditions permit, we may bring it back,
in perhaps an altered format.
We wish you the happiest of holiday seasons, and encourage you to
support the work of African American artists and artisans as you do
your holiday shopping, and throughout the coming year.
Best wishes,
Joyce and Michelle
