About this Event
The 43rd Street Festival is back for their 34th annual event.75 selected regional artists and craftsmen will show and sell their work on the streets of Forest Hill Neighborhood. There will also be music, local food and street art for kids.This RVA festival is intended to put a spotlight on the fine arts and crafts available in the area and to promote sales of local artisans. The show is a true community effort benefiting CARITAS, who works to transform lives and restore dignity to those in need. Artisans donate work for a raffle and proceeds of the artist designed T-shirt help raise money for the event. The show is free to the public. However, donations can be made at each of the four entrances to the show. Over $100,000 dollars has been raised and gone back to the community supporting CARITAS and those in need.Many of the artisans have been with the show since the beginning.However, new artists come on board each year to provide variety and fine craftsmanship in many media. This year’s juried outdoor show will include paintings, prints, pottery, sculpture, jewelry, glasswork, and more. Original works of art will be available for purchase and exhibitors will be on hand to discuss and sell their work.We hope folks will come out in droves to buy art, support CARITAS, and enjoy being out and about with friends and neighbors.
