I am participating in Artsfest again this year at the beautiful Annmarie Sculpture Garden and Arts Center in Solomons, Maryland. The only festival of its kind in the region! More than 165 artist booths, 30 performers on two stages; activities for kids in the Discovery Tent, Studio School, and the Zany Zone; great food, wine and beer, and lots more! Street performers, including stilt walkers, mimes, living statues, balloon artists, bubble artists, and strolling artists, will be found throughout the festival. It’s a fabulous weekend of great shopping and artful activities. Come visit my booth Saturday, September 19th and Sunday, September 20th in the Murray Arts Building. Artsfest runs 10am-5pm each day.
On Saturday May 9th and Sunday May 10th I will be hitting the streets of Bethesda with wearable fine art for all! On Mother’s Day weekend, plan a girls day and check out the wonderful art at the Bethesda Fine Arts Festival. Over 130 artists are participating! I’ll be exhibiting in booth #85 and it’s my only spring/summer show this year. Admission to the festival is free and free parking is available in the public parking garage on Auburn Avenue. Check out the live music and children’s activities too. It’s going to be a perfect weekend for art!! See you in Bethesda!
