A unique arts festival wrapped up Saturday in downtown Erie.

The 17th annual Arts & Drafts Festival featured the original work of more than 50 local artists inside the Brewerie at Union Station.

In an effort to support local talent, all of the work displayed is for sale and the profits go directly to the artists.

The festival began Thursday evening and has hosted 15 local bands performing in the evenings.

"There is something here for everybody," said Marie Cannizzaro, a volunteer. "I've seen sculptures. I've seen black and white photography. I've seen 3D printing. All aspects of art.: oil, acrylic, aerosol."

Local artists were selected to participate in the event in July.
