rhode island: the state of the arts!
Since 1962, the Wickford Art Association (WAA) has promoted the Wickford Art Festival. This juried, fine art festival features over 200 artists creating in oil, acrylic, mixed media, glass, drawing, etching, sculpture (metal, clay, wood, etc.,) photography, modern ink, fiber, and more.
Welcome to the 53rd Wickford Art Festival
Visit one of New England’s longest running, outdoor, fine art festivals!
Saturday July 11, 2015 ~ 10 am to 6 pm
Sunday July 12, 2015 ~ 10 am to 5 pm
Admission is FREE!
As you browse the many tents filled with beautiful artwork, you will also enjoy this outdoor fine art festival setting on the streets of historic Wickford Village. Eclectic shops and classic homes line the streets as you stroll through the seaside village, meeting the artists and seeking out exceptional artwork to purchase. Wickford is a “walking friendly” village that makes it easy for young families, the elderly, and people with mobility impairments to enjoy the festival.
Rhode Island is the first state in the nation to go tax-free on the sale of fine art!
