North Shore Fine Art Festival

On June 18 and June 19 Christopher Morley County Park will host the inaugural year of the North Shore Fine Art Festival. Residents and visitors will have the unique opportunity to enjoy and purchase original, hand-made artwork created by top national and international artisans. Over 10,000 pieces of extraordinary original art will be for sale, including the works of painters, sculptors, photographers, jewelers, digital artists, glass, fiber and ceramic artists along with creations in mixed-media, metal, and wood.

For two days stroll the festival, warmed by the spring sun while enjoying the breathtaking works from the nation’s top artisans, each selected by an independent jury of fine art professionals for the quality and originality of their artwork. Unlike most gallery shows, artists are available throughout the event. This provides you the unique opportunity to meet and interact with the talented creators of each piece. Many of these internationally acclaimed artists are represented in major museums and prestigious private collections throughout the world. The festival is directed by Paragon Fine Art Events, the premier organizer of fine art festivals.

The art festival opens Saturday June 18 with hours from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and SundayJune 19 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.
