Tenth Annual Outdoor Festival Brings Art to New Hope
The New Hope Chamber of Commerce announces the 10th Annual New Hope Outdoor
Arts and Crafts Festival. The juried Art Show will be held on October 4 & 5
from 11AM to 6PM on Saturday and 11AM to 5PM on Sunday. Both days promise an
exciting and extensive mix of fine art, unique crafts and photography by top
artists from all parts of the United States. All participating artists are
selected by a panel of five jurors who view slides submitted by each artist
of their work. All work is judged and only those with the highest scores are
accepted into the show. This year will feature over 150 artists displaying
fine art; including oils, pastels, watercolors, pen and ink, acrylics,
linocuts and photography. Fine handcrafted items include silver and gold
jewelry, stoneware and ceramics, tiles, Batik and wearable art, stained
glass, woodworking, metal sculpture and furniture. With New Hope's long
history as an artist colony and it's ideal location along the banks of the
Delaware River and Canal, it is no wonder the New Hope Show is fast becoming
a very popular one drawing artists from not only the Tri-State area, but
from across the country. The Festival will spread throughout downtown New
Hope. Some streets will be closed to traffic allowing everyone the
opportunity to wander at their leisure enjoying the art as well as the town
and its many unique galleries and shops. There are plenty of parking lots
available both in town and on the edge of town for easy parking. There will
be live music both days with acoustic guitarist Russell Donnellon playing
11-5PM on North Main St.
This show is made possible by our generous sponsors. We thank National Bank
and Trust of Newtown, Vox Vodka and Banko Distributors in conjunction with
Amsted Light and Rolling Rock.
The show is free to the public. For information please call 215-862-5880
