The festival will include many forms of art to be displayed such as painting, sculpture, pottery, jewelry and much more. Official artists will carry a lime green Paseo Arts Association flag and have their artwork judged through a competitive process.
Money raised from the event helps support the organization’s largest annual fundraiser and is used through the community’s favorite Paseo programs and events which include FEAST and First Friday Gallery Walks.
“We are especially excited for this year’s festival as our construction will be complete and we can show off our new streetscape,” states Amanda Bleakley, executive director of the Paseo Arts Association.
Food from 20 different food trucks will also be included at the festival. The trucks will display a variety of different sweet and savory treats. The selection of food will range from barbecue, tacos, Greek salads, ice cream, and much more.
