The Hermitage Arts Festival will take place at the Rodney White Olympic Park from July 14 - 15. This is a free, annual event.
The festival features an Artist's Marketplace, musical and theatrical performances, children's activities and performances by local cultural groups. There will also be a 5K walk taking place at the park on July 14 beginning at 9:30 AM; participants receive a t-shirt and pay $15 in advance to register or $20 at the gate.
The Artist's Marketplace will feature fine arts and crafts from many genres including painting, printmaking, sculpture, mixed media, jewelry, metal smithing, clay items, glass, fiber and leather. Artists and crafters can rent a 10x10 space for $50; all work sold must be handmade and created by the artist or crafter; commercial or flea market-type items are not acceptable . The artists can work with Hermitage printing companies to bring attention to their space. Posters, Signs and Banners can help their tent or booth be noticed from anywhere in the park; this will not cost them much and it will most likely result in more sales.
Arts festivals not only help artists sell their works but they help the community to recognize the variety and talent of artistic talent that is out there. Local artists don't always get the same attention as those who are nationally known and already established, and an arts festival in the local park, especially on a hot July weekend, will draw many people in the community who might not necessarily visit art galleries and museums.
