Arts on the Avenue
Celebrating the visual arts community

Come discover artists across multiple visual art disciplines as they take over Bernard Ave to showcase and sell their work.

Arts on the Avenue is a single day outdoor visual arts event geared towards an adult audience with a curated marketplace, live demonstrations, hands-on art activities, and eclectic performances. Its purpose is to showcase visual arts in all its forms and connect the public with professional visual artists.

We welcome artists from all art disciplines. Through a juried selection process, we seek to ensure a diverse reflection of the artistic excellence within our community. Acceptance into Arts on the Avenue is based on quality, originality, and craftsmanship.
How can artists participate?
- To be considered for Arts on the Avenue, please submit an application.
- There are a limited number of spaces available per category, so we encourage you to apply by the first deadline.

What is the application process?
Artisans can apply 1 of 2 ways:

- Full Application – If you are a NEW applicant to Arts on the Avenue and have not previously been adjudicated by one of the partner shows, please complete the more detailed application which allows our panel of professional artists/crafters to adjudicate your work.
It will be up to our Selection Committee to make the final decision on who is accepted into Arts on the Avenue.
