Arts Alive & Street Painting Festival In Mission Viejo

MISSION VIEJO, CA — It's that time again!

Mission Viejo’s iconic Arts Alive Festival will dazzle art lovers from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, April 28 and Sunday, April 29 at the Oso Viejo Community Park on the Village Green and neighboring community center at 24932 Veterans Way.

The event also extends to the new Potocki Center for the Arts at 27301 La Paz Road.

Exhibiting a “Nature as I See It” theme, festival-goers will savor a spectrum of musical performances; Caring Fairies along the Oso Creek Trail; art workshops at the Potocki Center; plein air painters canvassing the area; art vendors; and the works of talented street painters from across the globe.

“The Arts Alive Festival has such a warm and welcoming reputation that it attracts world-class street painters,” said street painting coordinator Renee Keady. “The artists keep coming back because they tell me they feel like we are a family and there is a true sense of the word community here in Mission Viejo.”

Admission is FREE.

Visitors will enjoy fun activities for kids and adults and tasty food and beverages for purchase. A free weekend shuttle bus is available from the Civic Center at 200 Civic Center.
