Call for Artists
We are now accepting artist/maker applications for the Lansdowne Arts on the Avenue Festival which will be held on Sunday, September 11, 2016 from noon to 6 pm on Lansdowne Avenue. This event grew out of (and will now replace) the Lansdowne Arts Festival, a perennial favorite arts and music event in Lansdowne. This new and exciting outdoor arts festival is expected to draw more than 2,500 people to our historic downtown for an all-day festival of arts, crafts, music, food trucks, and more.

We are expanding not only the location of the festival, but also the look. We hope to feature some new, exciting, unique artists. The Call For Artists has just gone out and applications are due May 15th. Please share and help us really make this festival something fantastic!
