Arts Galore

Release Date: Tuesday, September 2nd 2008

With more than 170 participating artists, cultural organizations, restaurants and entertainment groups in the Outdoor Festival and Neighborhood Showcase, Arts on Foot kicks off 

the fall arts and cultural season in Downtown, expanding to encompass four blocks and a bigger Art Market. The festival has grown significantly over the years, with many more patrons attending and more artists expressing interest in displaying their wares.

This year, for the first time, the event will feature an Art Market preview on Friday, September 12, allowing artists two days, instead of one, to participate. The main event, a daylong multimedia festival, takes place on Saturday, September 13 from 11 am to 5 pm. The Downtown BID and the Pennsylvania Quarter Neighborhood Association (1250 H Street) produce this free arts showcase. A festival program with details and maps will be published in The Washington Examiner on Friday, September 12, or you can pick up one on site during the festival.
