THE WOODLANDS, TX ā€“ The Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival transforms Town Green Park into a vibrant landscape of visual art created by over 200 fine artists every April. The festive atmosphere is enriched by a wide range of musicians and performers sharing their talents on four stages, thanks to the leadership of Woodlands resident Angela Colton.

Since its inception, Colton has been an integral member of The Woodlands Arts Council that produces the Festival. As a native of New Orleans, you might say a love of music is in her blood, which is why her role as Performing Arts Coordinator is a perfect fit.

Bringing jazz, blues, Americana, folk, country and rock music to the stages as well as show choirs, big band musicians and local up-and-coming talent, fulfills the mission of the Festival, which is to showcase art in all its forms.

ā€œItā€™s really about empowering our artists, and itā€™s a great opportunity for our emerging artists to gain experience and confidence,ā€ Colton said.
