Description

The Fort Deposit Arts and Activities was created in 1970 by the Mayor and a group of interested citizens to help promote the love and knowledge of arts and its related fields in Fort Deposit and the surrounding area. In its early years, the Committee sponsored numerous events which drew large audiences, particularly for a town of only 1500. But as well as the events were attended there was never enough income to fund them. The Calico Fort Arts and Crafts Fair was begun as a means of financing the events and as an additional promotion of the arts and crafts. Calico Fort began as a dream by a group of local citizens whose desire was to promote our small town, to create an interest which would draw visitors, and develop an outstanding Arts and Crafts festival. A number of possible themes were considered but, considering our historical background, Calico Fort was selected.
