This 21th annual juried, fine arts festival is well known for exceptional treatment of the artists, many of whom return year after year. This outdoor venue is beautiful Styron Square in the heart of Port Warwick in Newport News and is often described as "walking through an outdoor art gallery!"

We search for qualified artists throughout the country who continually challenge themselves to achieve a higher artistic level both in subject matter and technique. The Show is organized by the Port Warwick Foundation which is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that encourages emerging artists and embraces culturally diverse artists to our Show. Live entertainment all weekend, ever-expanding family and children's activities, food trucks and conveniently located between Williamsburg and Virginia Beach make this the perfect addition to your Fall Virginia Tour!
