This year, the Festival will be held September 6th and 7th, from 10 am to 5 pm. The eclectic Five Points area provides a vibrant gateway for those attending the festival, which features watercolors, oils, glass, pastels, drawings, clay, photography, wood, acrylics, fiber, graphics, metal, paper and mixed media, as well as a terrific Art Activities tent for kids. There is always plenty of food, fun, and music to accompany the art, and the highly regarded (and free!) guided bus tours of the district are not to be missed.
