This Year's Show Promises to be One of the Best!

Artists Get Exceptional Treatment..

This 20th annual juried, fine arts festival is well known for exceptional treatment of the artists, many of whom return year after year. This outdoor venue is beautiful Styron Square in the heart of Port Warwick in Newport News and is often described as "walking through an "outdoor art gallery!"

We search for qualified artists throughout the country who continually challenge themselves to achieve a higher artistic level both in subject matter and technique. The Show is organized by the Port Warwick Foundation which is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that encourages emerging artists and embraces culturally diverse artists to our Show. Live entertainment all weekend, ever expanding family and children's activities, food trucks and conveniently located between Williamsburg and Virginia Beach makes this the perfect addition to your Fall Virginia Tour!

ARTISTS LOVE THIS SHOW...

“We had a great time at your event-sales were very good-your helpers were EXCELLENT! It is so nice to be appreciated, and be at a show that has “TRUE ARTISTS”-not just folks purchasing “stuff” on the internet…I look forward to being invited next year!”
