The Clinton Art and Music Festival is an annual festival celebrating and showcasing a diverse blend of independent music, art, performance art, and community. The festival provides a forum for independent musicians, fans, and creative minds to keep the inspiration and imagination alive that both music and the arts provide. The telling of a story through a song or art has an impact and long lasting effects in our daily lives.
