This is no ordinary arts festival. Regional artists are curated, and hand selected by BCAG to showcase their art across a wide variety of mediums for guests to purchase, including jewelry, pottery, woodworking, glass, acrylic and watercolor painting, mixed media, and much more, plus local vendors.
In addition to visual arts, these musicians and bands will be performing continually throughout both days:
Jazz from the Kevin Howard Band, Reggae/Soul/R&B from Brian Cunningham Project, Eclectic Rock / Funk / Rock & Roll from the Pineapple Band and Skies in Chaos, and Irish dance tunes from The Pilgrims of Deep Run. View the complete schedule.
