King Street Art Festival Celebrates 10th Anniversary

The King Street Art Festival returns for its 10^th anniversary next month, transforming the city’s historic main street into an outdoor art gallery.

On Sept. 8 and 9, more than 200 artists will line the streets near the waterfront offering sculptures, photography, glass, wood, jewelry, collage, ceramics and more.

Admission is free and open to the public.

This year’s festivities celebrate the city’s designation as a top 10 arts destination among mid-size cities in the nation by offering a smart phone scavenger hunt and a Saturday drawing marathon fundraiser at 1 Duke St.

Six Alexandria artists including three artists are presenting work as part of the street festival. Alexandria artist Martha Brumbaugh is among nine festival artists who have participated in the festival since its inception a decade ago.
