Voted one of the top 100 art festivals in the country by Sunshine Artist magazine.

The 7th Annual Alexandria Festival of the Arts is one not to be missed! Discover spectacular paintings, life-size sculptures, jewelry, photography, ceramics and more. This popular outdoor event will feature art for every taste and budget, with prices ranging from $20 to $20,000. More than $15 million in art will be on display and visitors will have the opportunity to meet the artists behind the work and hear first-hand what inspired them to create their pieces.

Artists travel from California, New York, Maine, Florida and New Mexico, as well as throughout the state of Virginia. Selecting artists based on quality and originality, an independent panel of judges chose the exhibiting artists from more than 1,000 submissions.

The show is set up along King Street in Alexandria's Old Town, a quaint, historic town with many different shops, restaurants and more. The show stretches all the way down the street to the Potomac River.
