The Cape Cod Fine Art Festival returns for its third year to the Village Green in Hyannis on July 16th & 17th, 2011.  The event showcases the original artwork of more than 90 national artists from 21 states and Canada juried including painters, sculptors, photographers, jewelers, and both glass and ceramic artists.  Many of these internationally acclaimed artists are represented in major museums and prestigious private collections throughout the world. 

The festival again sets up on the Village Green located off Main Street in front of the Barnstable Town Hall in historic downtown Hyannis.  Over 10,000 pieces of extraordinary artwork will be exhibited. As you walk the show and marvel at the creativity and beauty of the work, enjoy the unique opportunity to meet the artists that create each piece.  Learn how they became artists, how they are inspired, and how your pieces were created.  This adds inestimable value to each piece you add to your home or your office.
