The 43rd Street Festival of the Arts is returning to the Forest Hill neighborhood this month for its 20th annual event. 70 selected regional artists and craftsmen will show and sell their work. There will also be live music, local food, and special activities for children. Proceeds from the festival will benefit Freedom House, our local homeless provider.
Many of the artisans have been with the show since the beginning. Some of our locals like Cris Pool, Lee Hazelgrove, Steven Glass, Foust, and Robin Cage are perennial favorites. New artists come on board each year to provide variety and fine craftsmanship in many media. This year’s juried outdoor show will include paintings, prints, pottery, sculpture, jewelry, glasswork, and more. Original works of art will be available for purchase and exhibitors will be on hand to discuss and sell their work.
The musical line up this year includes some recent favorites:
10 am Rachel Leyco
11:30 am Susan Greenbaum
1:00 pm Blue Line Highway
2:30 pm Bluz Catz
4 pm OminOtago
The unique selection of contemporary art, fantastic local musicians, great food and a loyal neighborhood crowd round out this event.
Special thanks go out to everyone in the area who supports this show and allows all the other Richmonders to come join for the day.
All are invited to enjoy the party and celebrate our 20th year!
