While the festival features a lot of local talent, it also features regional and national headliners in the evenings. Every year, visual artists from a variety of fields exhibit and sell their work. Everyone showcasing their art at Panoply is a “maker,” from paintings and sculptures to jewelry and apparels. Dancers of different ages perform anything from ballet to hip hop, as well as a variety of regional dances such as Irish dancers and the classical Chinese style. These shows take place on stages all across Big Spring International Park. Many locals make this a yearly outing, but this regional arts festival draws in just as many out-of-state visitors, too. Panoply should definitely be on your list of “must-dos.”
