Wickford Art Festival

This 51 year old festival is one of the "BEST" fine art festivals in New England. For the entire weekend you can stroll historic Wickford Village while browsing beautiful works of art. The quaint, tree lined streets will be full of artist's tents that hold a treasure trove of paintings, drawings, photographs, sculptures, etchings, and more.


For 51 years this festival has been put on by the WickfordArt Association (WAA). Proceeds from the festival help provide the WAA with funding for the scholarships they give to RI high school seniors that are continuing on to an art education. They also help defray the costs of our educational and community programs as well as maintaining the numerous art exhibits at the WAA gallery at 36 Beach St. in Wickford.


Great art, historic village on the harbor, quaint shops and a friendly atmosphere. Please join us this year! You won't be disappointed.
