An Occasion for the Arts
to
Merchants Square 134 North Henry Street, Williamsburg, Virginia 23185
Each year, on the first weekend in October, An Occasion For The Arts presents a splendid array of fine art and a variety of performances throughout Merchants Square in Colonial Williamsburg. Youth are honored with their own art exhibit and an array of activities for the whole family. Food, wine and beer are available.
Our favorite weekend features a juried show of outstanding painters, print makers, sculptors, jewelers, photographers and other artisans of fine crafts. Artists are eligible to win best in show awards. A percentage of the proceeds benefit youth art in the community.
