The downtown Christmas celebration in Troy on Sunday was a magical and memorable event for all who gathered to the celebrate the season with family, friends and neighbors.

And for sure, the Christmas celebration generated an ArtSPARK throughout the large gathering of all ages, said Carrie Jaxon, director and curator, International Arts Center, Troy University.

Any time there is an ArtSpark, it is certain to create a flurry of art activities. And, so it was at Troy’s Downtown Christmas Celebration.

Jaxon thanked everyone who participate in the ArtSpark art activity and Rebekah Alexander who directed the art activity.

“ArtSPARK is made possible by grants from the Alabama State Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency,” Jaxon said.

Jackson said those who are interested in receiving ArtSPARK updates are encouraged to email IAC@troy.edu and request to be added to the email list.
